Making things visual, keeping it simple, and adding flowers wherever possible!

[The image shows a wooden pallet nailed to the side of a red barn wall with painted white frames and window panes. The text “Wear masks, Six Feet, Wash Hands, Have Fun” is painted in light blue and large lettering. Brightly colored flower garlands are hung from the side of the pallet on strands of yarn.]

In this video, our campers explore the PYO fields at Hampshire College Farm and CSA, as always remembering: Wear Masks, Six Feet, Wash Hands, and Have Fun!

On days like these, we hope that all of our camp families are staying safe and checking in on one another! Each week, we learn more and more about how it feels to spend time learning, exploring, and giving thanks together at camp, especially in moments that can feel turbulent and full of uncertainty.

Today, I am thankful that YOU - our camp community - continue to put your trust in us to hold space for caring, meaningful, land-based connection alongside your children, and to keep each other safe while doing so.

A special Farm & Garden Camp Friday to all of our friends and families!

This morning down on the farm, we said: “Hello, Buenos días, Bienvenue, and Nǐ hǎo” to our TWO beautiful baby goats!

Founding Director Hope greeted them at her home this morning, and they will be making their way to Camp with momma, Toasty, and friends Maple and Baby in the coming days!

Good morning Farm & Garden Camp families! This week, our amazing Camp Staff are busy preparing our site at Hampshire College Farm and CSA for the start of our reduced capacity, outdoor, socially-distanced 2020 camp season.

And in the meantime, our stunning Toasty goat has preparations of her own!

Here’s another Toasty Tuesday update from Founding Director Hope.
Any guesses as to how many kids we’ll be welcoming in the coming weeks?

Stay safe. Take care. Be well.
