While planting, irrigating, and harvesting both produce and eggs, campers will learn the importance of organic farming for the planet and the health benefits to themselves.
Afternoons are comprised of an art class, with a focus on art in nature, a science class centered round the theme of sustainability and the environment, and a cooking class conducted by our school’s chef and using foods picked at Sport Hill Farm. Classes are all taught by experts in their field.
One day a week the campers will go on an all-day field experience. Each week of the program is scheduled for a different location. From a trip to learn about the history of farming, visiting a bee keeper or even learning about how food is harvested from Long Island Sound, campers are given an opportunity to further learn about the food web and what their impact is on the world.
