Plant Pros: July 7-11

Future Farmers: July 14-18
Ages 4-9
Campers explore every part of Common Ground–the field, barn, pond, and greenhouse. They’ll gather crops, compost, meet animals, and discover how everything on the farm works together to thrive. Along the way, they’ll learn how farmers plan for the future and how summer harvests help feed us all year long.
STEM on the Farm: July 21-25
Ages 4-12
Campers put on their problem-solving caps and become farm scientists! They’ll invent, experiment, and build to discover how natural science and human ingenuity shape farm life. From greenhouses to engines, they’ll explore the how, what, where, and why behind the innovations that keep the farm running.
Natural Navigators: July 28-Aug 1
Ages 4-12
Campers sharpen their wilderness skills as they learn to read maps, use a compass, and navigate the farm’s ecosystems. Scavenger hunts, games, and challenges will put their skills to the test as they become adventurers and learn how to help preserve the wild world.
Growing Artists: August 4-8
Ages 4-12
Let creativity bloom! Campers will create art using a variety of mediums and techniques–painting, sculpting, and collaborating with natural and repurposed materials. They’ll explore how art can connect people, tell stories, and capture the beauty of the world around them.
Making a Farmers’ Market: August 11-15
Ages 4-12
From farm to market, campers learn what it takes to run a farmers’ market. They’ll plan, pick, and prepare their own products while exploring how food and goods connect Common Ground with the community. By the end of the week, they’ll have created their own mini market, complete with tokens for shopping!
Field to Feast: August 18-22
Ages 4-12
Campers take their harvest from the field to the table! They’ll learn essential cooking skills like chopping, measuring, and mixing—harvesting and preparing the freshest veggies possible, and tasting as they go to try out new flavors and combinations. The week culminates in a celebratory harvest meal that campers prepare and enjoy together.
