Description

What does it take for a garden to grow? Every Thursday for 10 weeks, we will dig deep into organic gardening. Learn to plan and prepare garden beds, plant seeds and starts, compost with worms, organically manage pests, save seeds, know when to harvest, and much more!

We will learn how to support healthy ecosystems while growing food and pollinator plants that thrive in our Northwest environment. Along the way, we will play games, create art, conduct scientific investigations, and make tasty garden snacks! Through these experiences, we will develop our reciprocal relationship with the land, learn about plant and animal knowledge, and practice caring for land as the land cares for us.

About Our Youth Programs

Program happens rain or shine. Please dress for the weather and for a hands-on garden/farm day – layers, a hat, and closed toed shoes; rain gear on rainy days. Please apply sunscreen before camp, and send additional sunscreen with your child. Each day, campers bring a water bottle, lunch and two filling snacks to be prepared for an active camp day. (Preschool half-day camps do not include lunch.)
