Children’s Peace Garden Summer Camp strives to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards through hands-on learning experiences in the garden. We’ve found that connecting children with their food has lifelong impacts on their health and eating choices. We offer week long, full day camps for nine weeks in the summer for youth aged 5-11. Each week has a unique theme such as Create Roots: Art in the Garden, Sprouts and Shovels: Growing Future Farmers, and Farm to Fork Cooking. We run two different camps in the summer, Peace Garden Summer Camp, and Goats and Gardens Summer Camp. Educators will rotate into each of these camps, and get opportunities to participate in both activity plans!
