The Summer Camp

Welcome to Shadow Hills Farm!

Immerse your children in a day filled with engaging activities and enriching experiences on our charming farm! They'll have the opportunity to collect farm-fresh eggs from our chickens, explore our vibrant pond and discover fascinating wildlife that inhabits our homestead. Additionally, they can indulge their imaginations in our delightful mud kitchen, ensuring they stay entertained throughout the day.

 

Our farm-based program goes beyond fun and adventure, as we seamlessly integrate educational components into the activities. While exploring our farm and participating in themed lessons, your children will delve into various subjects such as math, science, music, and more. It's a fantastic way for them to expand their knowledge while having a blast!

SUMMER 2026

This exceptional day camp operates as a drop-off program, offering convenience for parents. Each camper will receive a personalized camp shirt to wear proudly during their time with us, and we will provide a satisfying lunch. However, if you prefer to pack your child's lunch, we gladly accommodate that choice as well!
