Summer Day Camp at Pactamere Farm is for children 6-12 years old who love animals, the outdoors, and have an interest in learning about daily farm life.
Our week long camp, runs Monday through Friday from 8:20am-3:30pm and offers a variety of authentic hands-on “chores”, crafting and outdoor play that will expose your child to the day-to-day operations of our working farm. Activities will include caring for our chickens, goats, alpacas, pigs, sheep, and peacock. Your Junior Farmer will also help grow and harvest a garden of seasonal vegetables, fruits, and flowers, make goat milk cheese, create a one of a kind scented goat milk soap bar, learn to felt using alpaca wool, paint a flowerpot, and even partake in some goat yoga! Expect your Junior Farmer to get “down and dirty” at our week long camp filled with lots of farm fun.
On Friday, to celebrate a week of learning and having fun with animals, we'll have a water play day. We set up sprinklers, a splash pad, water balloons, etc! Please send your child in their swimsuit on Friday morning and pack them a change of clothing and towel.
Upon camp completion, we will email you a photo collage of your camper’s fun week along with two complementary tickets to attend one of our summer movie nights.
Our Camp offers a fun summer camp experience on a real working farm. We work to create a fun and safe environment that encourages independence while nurturing lasting friendships. At a time when children are increasingly surrounded by smart phones, computers, television, our goal is to get campers outside, actively creating, playing and learning. Your child will be a hands-on, active participant in our farm community.
While our junior farmers play an integral role in caring for the animals and farm we also incorporate crafts, games, fun challenges and learning about our environment and how to care for it.
Our program focuses on promoting a positive self-image, encouraging friendships with both humans and animals and practicing a healthy lifestyle. Ultimately, our goal is to have these experiences, friendships and laughter stay with campers the rest of their lives.
During each week long session, campers ages 6-12 develop meaningful connections, explore new forms of self-expression, and dig deep in multifaceted projects inspired by our sprawling landscape. Plant and harvest vegetables, make creative crafts, care for goats, alpacas, sheep, pigs and chickens, discover ecology, play spirited games, and bend your imagination.
In addition to learning about life of a farmer, campers will spend time getting to know our herd of goats, alpacas, chickens, sheep and mini pigs. Campers will assist in daily chores of our animals, while learning about the benefits of humane livestock management.
We welcome children to enjoy a unique, fun-filled week of camp on our 16 acre working family farm. Be outdoors, discovering how a farm operates through fun, interactive and educational activities. Kids have a chance to be outdoors, off-screen and experience nature with our farm camps.
Upon completion of enrollment, Pactamere Farm will email you the forms for any food allergies, special dietary needs and liability.
Water will be provided all day.
All forms are due no later than June 1st.
Every penny of our Camps goes towards keeping the animals of Pactamere Farm happy, healthy, and housed!
