Summer Day Camp 2008 Registration Form Available

Slide Ranch Summer Day Camp uses goats, sheep, chickens and an organic garden, along with the coastal wild lands and tide-pools to provide an ideal outdoor classroom to teach where food comes from and environmental awareness.

For 2008, Summer Day Camp weekly sessions begin June 9th and end August 15th (see complete schedule below photo).

During the week, campers may:

• Milk and care for our goats and sheep
• Feed and collect eggs from our chickens and ducks.
• Learn to care for an organic garden, from planting to harvest.
• Participate in a wide variety of farm crafts and activities such as wool spinning, papermaking and bread baking in a wood-fired cob oven.
• Prepare compost.
• Explore tide pools, beaches, and beautiful coastal wild lands!

Our experienced educators lead most of the week’s activities in small groups of eight campers. The personal attention they give campers inspires independent discovery and is complemented by a few large circle activities.

At the end of the week, campers harvest from the garden that they tended and “sell” the produce and crafts to their parents at a special Slide Ranch Farmer’s Market
