Summer Camp
Kids: Become Junior Farmers at Camp this Summer!
In July and August, Andrews Farm hosts week-long Summer Day Camps for children ages 4-9. Our one-of-a-kind ‘Junior Farmers’ program gives campers a hands-on learning experience, where they will be able to directly participate in farming and gardening activities – such as feeding farm animals; collecting eggs from the chickens; planting and harvesting fruits, vegetables and flowers; and making compost. Arts and crafts; exercise, sport and play are incorporated in camp activities, while we also learn to appreciate the outdoors, nature and wildlife around us at the farm.
The small size of our Summer Day Camp program allows for campers to explore their interests, develop new skills, and discover the wonder of the natural world alongside other children, and with the close guidance and support of Andrews’ camp counsellors. Spending more time away from screens and outdoors on the farm with other children at Summer Camp is a positive and impactful experience for campers; it provides lasting benefits to their physical, social and mental health, and creates wonderful memories to carry with them as they graduate as Junior Farmers at Andrews Farm! All campers who complete their one week camp at the farm will receive a ‘Junior Farmer’ Season Pass that gives them free admission to Andrews Farm for unlimited return visits during the farm’s open hours, through the remainder of the year.
Preparing for Camp
Camp is generally conducted outside, rain or shine. So dress for the weather – bring rainboots and raincoat and dress "warm and waterproof" on cool, rainy days; bring sunscreen, light clothes and hats on sunny days. Close-toed shoes are recommended rather than sandals, flip-flops or loose shoes. Please bring a re-fillable water bottle and a change of clothes as well. Lunch will not be provided Monday-Thursday - you’ll need to bring your own ‘litter-less’ lunch and snacks. Friday is make-your-own-pizza day, so lunch will be provided – you’ll just have to pack any additional snacks you would like on Friday.
