What kind of child would most enjoy this Camp?
Our Summer Camp is open to everyone, however it will be most enjoyed by children who like to be outside and enjoy nature. Camp days will consist of a wide-range of activities, mostly geared toward children who like physical activity, don’t mind getting dirty, are curious about plants, nature, and cooking and enjoy outdoor play. Phone use will be limited.

Summer Camp is completely FREE to all Boone County kids!
What will an average day at Camp look like?
Your child will make, explore, and play! Camp will center around the concept of learning from "seed to plate." Your child will learn about gardening, farming, and cooking focusing on the natural cycles of our food. Camp will heavily feature hands-on learning activities.
