Friday evening we will be firing up the pizza oven to feed everyone during pick up window time, giving the campers a chance to show off to parents their crafts, the things they've learned around the farm and  and what they've learned about life on the farm.

The theme of the days are subject to change so if campers are only attending a few days be sure they don't fall in love with the specific activities posted. Each and every day we will have a plan but we will also feel the vibes and let the campers loosely guide our activities with their interests. 


​
This camp is geared towards children ages 5 to 10 year olds, with exceptions based on family needs or interest. 

COST: $95 a day
or $350 for the full 5 days

CAMPERS SHOULD:
- bring a bag lunch, mud boots and clothing that campers can appropriately layer plus, can get dirty
- be dropped off by a parent or guardian who can sign paperwork on the first day
- on the following days be dropped off between 8:30 - 9 and picked up between 3 - 3:30

CAMPERS WILL:
- be given snack in the mid morning (allergies can be communicated on the sign-up forms) 
- be made to wash hands at the proper intervals
- be interacting with lots of different animals
- be learning and absorbing the ways of the farm



As you may know from the fantastic first hand experience of being there, or you may have been told, that last year's inaugural CAMP TWO PONY was a smashing success. And it's true! The campers were excellent, in general, and more specifically at: horse brushing, woods walking, chicken snuggling, goat milking, queen bee finding and everything in between. Year two we are ready to perfect this experience and teach our campers even more about life on the farm! Campers coming back for a second time will have a chance to do a few different things, a few of the same things and most importantly develop leadership skills who can hone their expertise for the benefit of all!

PREREGISTRATION DETAILS:
Please email TWOPONYGARDENS@GMAIL.COM, use the subject line CAMP TWO PONY and let us know the age(s) of the interested campers, ask questions or just let us know that you are excited to learn more! A $95 deposit will need to be snail mailed to the farm in order to hold your spot. We will respond to your email with a request for the deposit and with some paperwork to be filled out as well!




With Energy, Passion and Excitement, 
Lisa, Robyn & Katherine
(Biographies will be provided on counselors for parents and campers to read during the sign-up process!)
