Farmer Jr. Day Camp offers children a memorable experience and the opportunity to discover the wonders of life on the farm during this multi-day camp. Each day will offer a new adventure. Campers will participate in daily farm chores, as well as various organized activities, all geared for younger campers. Activities may include outdoor adventures like hikes (with goats!), scavenger hunts, craft projects, pioneer life experiences, milking a cow or goat, grooming and harnessing draft horses and hayrides. Campers will experience the sights, sounds, and smells of a real working farm through this four-day camp.
This day camp will run July 16-19.

Pre-register online by checking the box of the program you would like to attend. You will be asked a series of questions during registration (such as medical questions, emergency contacts and the child’s authorized pick-up person) that must be answered in order to register your child for camp. It’s important you complete these fully as asked so park staff have all needed information in the case of an emergency. You can also call the interpretive center at 248-684-8632.
