At Farm Camp, kids engage in hands-on learning that immerses them in sustainable agriculture and the environment. From caring for livestock, tending (and tasting) what is in our gardens, and exploring our surrounding ecosystems, campers fill their days with discovery. We believe that Farm Camp is a place where kids have fun in nature, with food, and with animals. Our goal is to provide these opportunities while emphasizing play, exploration, and farm-based activities.

Summary

Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment is building an ecologically and economically resilient food system in the Northeast through regenerative agriculture. Based on a diversified, organic farm of over 600 conserved acres on the coast of Maine, our nonprofit works to accelerate food systems change through public education, farmer training and market development, and agricultural research and innovation. With its demonstration farm, oceanfront campground, wooded trails, and historic buildings, our vibrant campus serves as a unique hub for education and exploration.

Each year, we host hundreds of campers ages 4 to 15 from the local community and out-of-state. The Farm Camp season runs for 10 weeks from June 15 to August 21, 2026. The role of the Farm Camp Counselor will be to Co-lead one of the following age groups: Buds (age 4), Peapods (age 5), Sprouts (ages 6-7), Seedlings (ages 8-9), or Farm Kids (ages 10-11) in farm-based education activities. These include but are not limited to daily farm chores, gardening, soil science, cooking, and wool crafts.
