Since camp, I've noticed my child…

Real reflections from Farm Camp parents, after just one week on the land.

…has a new excitement and energy about her. She wasn't signed up for much this summer and was starting to get a little down in the dumps. She came home from camp so excited to share every single detail, and was happy the whole week.

…grow tremendously. We challenged him to explore and be open to new experiences, which he typically finds shy or anxious about. This week he gained confidence, learned so much, and made real, positive connections with peers and leaders.

— Crown Point Camp Parent

…completely gotten over her fear of bees. She wore a real beekeeping suit and got hands-on with the hives. She came home every day excited to talk about her favorite animals — Oreo the goat and Pumpkin Seed the chicken — and by day one she'd made friends, both human and animal.
