July 18-20, 2023
10am-3pm
Open to Ages 6-12
Explore, wander, and wonder. Experience beauty.
And Learn the how and why of a working flower farm.
-
Soil, seeds, and stems
Learning by doing. Thats how it works on the farm! Campers will learn all things seeds and soil, and come home with their own container garden to try out this summer. With activities, games, and foraging stems in the fields - kids will learn the basics in all that goes underneath our flower farm production.
-
Buds, Blooms, and Blossoms
What would a flower camp be without the flowers? On this day, kids will explore the biology of the flower through games, dissection, and activities. We’ll explore photosynthesis through chlorophyll painting, and end the day arranging those beautiful blooms into flower crowns to wear home.
-
Bees and butterflies behind the blooms
It takes a village! Behind all of those blooms is a hardworking crew of pollinators. Campers will take part in exploring the hows and why of pollinators, helping us to walk in gratitude as we harvest beautiful blossoms on our last day of camp. Campers will end the day with creating a beautiful arrangement of flowers to bring home.
Gather, harvest, and work with flowers
What a gift to play with flowers. Your child will have the opportunity to walk in fields of flowers, harvesting greens, blooms, and materials to use in their own flower creations. Throughout camp, we will take time to learn basic skills of flower arranging, and campers will go home with a finished flower crown and posy arrangement.
Learn about cycles of growth
Creation has a wonderful way of working together to make things happen. We get to observe, experience, and understand the basics in what’s happening beneath the surface in our soil and above the surface, in both the plants and the pollinators that visit them, in order to grow the beautiful flowers on our flower farm.
We start with seeds
Campers will take part in seed starting and propagation methods to gain skills they can take with them into the future. Best of all, kids will come home with a vertical container garden, planted by their own hands that they can enjoy for the rest of summer.
