We offer two summer camp programs:

Basic Agriculture Camp for ages 6-12.  What goes into making a farm? It’s more than putting a bunch of animals and plants on a piece of land. Farmers need to know how to take care of the animals and plants they raise for food, fiber, or work.
Growing up on a farm has always meant learning a lot of this knowledge by watching and doing. Basic Farm Camp kids do chores in the morning and get an overview of the production of food, fiber and horses. Afterward, they have a choice of activities that will bring them closer to ranch work or give them a taste of the traditional pastimes enjoyed on farms when the chores were done. These include primitive skills, nature hikes, swimming, campfire songs and activities, and the camaraderie that only resident camp can provide.

Advanced Agricultural Science Camp for ages 13-18: This is a one- or two-week  camp for high-school students with a real interest in animal science and more challenging recreation and crafts activities. The two week-long sessions are different, and we encourage campers to attend both. Students will be in groups of 4 to 6 and will spend 5 hours of each day throughout the 2 weeks doing serious animal science study, covering anatomy, physiology, reproduction, management and veterinary practices. Activities will be both hands-on and academic, working with swine, sheep, horses, chickens and quail. The students will be exposed to livestock production practices from breeding to meat on the table. The long afternoons will provide ample opportunity to develop skills in archery, pottery, fly-fishing, rappelling, nature lore, brain-tanning buckskins, and snorkeling.
