Summer Day Camp 2009 Registration Form Available

Slide Ranch Summer Camp 2009
Slide Ranch Day Camps will leave your child with lasting memories of feeling nourished by the natural world.  Our educational emphasis at Slide Ranch is on firsthand experience and exploration.  Campers are encouraged to touch, taste, smell, hear, and observe.   We focus on teaching respect for animals, plants, the earth and each other. 
Your child will actively participate in farm routines and tasks to gain an appreciation of the origins of our food and fiber, and to learn a care-taking role with plants and animals.  Much of the camp focuses on farm and garden experiences like milking goats, feeding chickens, preparing compost and planting seeds.  Your child will also explore the coastal wild lands and the amazing tide pools near Slide Ranch.

Please Note: If a camp week is sold out and you want to be on the waiting list, you must complete the registration form and send it in.  You will not be charged until we have a spot for you and we confirm that you still want it.  We are sorry we can't accommodate more campers right now.
