 Earthplace Summer Camp 2009: Welcome to a summer of fun, learning and investigation! At Earthplace we use our 62-acre wildlife sanctuary as an outdoor classroom. On trail walks through the woods, meadow, stream, and pond, we often spot wildlife in their natural surroundings, including deer, turtles, hawks, wild turkeys and groundhogs. Every week animals from our indoor Animal Hall come to visit. Campers learn about many creatures and their habitats, with the themes changing every week. There are many opportunities to explore new aspects of nature through hands-on activities, group games, field trips, hikes and crafts. Once a session, children in grades 1 through 4 go on area field trips. Some weeks our 3rd & 4th, and 5th-7th graders go canoeing. On other weeks the 5th-7th graders also camp overnight at Earthplace. This year Earthplace will offer Before and After Care, morning care will run from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m., and afternoon care from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. We hope to give your child a summer experience that encourages him or her to appreciate all that nature at Earthplace has to offer.

Our mission is to demonstrate, teach and promote sustainable, community-based food production. Stone Barns Center`s Farm Camp is in its sixth season. Camp sessions are designed for campers of different ages, ranging from rising kindergarteners through rising eighth graders.

In addition to activities focused on a specific theme, every camp session includes garden work, animal chores, cooking, crafts, games and hiking. At Farm Camp, we also explore the farm-to-table connection. A staff food and nutrition specialist helps campers prepare healthy snacks.
