- Camp Two Pony -
It is with many emotions that we announce --
SUMMER 2023 is the { END OF AN ERA } here at Two Pony Gardens
After dedicating the better part of the last decade to Two Pony Gardens this will be the last season with Katherine Price as the full time farm manager. Katherine is taking the next steps in her agricultural career, which includes supporting farmers and land stewards through the same type of land based business endeavors that make up Two Pony Gardens. With that being said, this is potentially means this will be the final year of Farm Camp and we want to communicate that up front in an effort to explain the changes and pressures we'll be under.
More on that later this year but, what is the most important to our TPG families this time of year is that Camp Two Pony 2023 is a go!
FARM CAMP IS a three day experience for 7 to 12 year olds from 8:30AM to 3:00PM at Two Pony Gardens! Our experienced staff led by Lisa Ringer, Katherine Price and Paige Kahle will guide your camper through hikes, farm chores and a variety of activities that will teach about life on the farm and in Wolsfeld woods. After you drop your camper off at Trinity Lutheran's parking lot, they will hike through the woods to the farm, where a day of magical connection to the land and one another will take place.
Monday is 'Meet the Farm and Woods' Day
Activities include: farm tour, micro-greens tasting, box building, seed planting, plant anatomy basics, and much more.
Tuesday is Look Deeper Day
Activities include: soil organisms chat, worm bin exploration, pollinator celebration!
Wednesday is Pizza Party Day!
Activities include: party prep, grooming ponies, harvesting and prepping veggies, dough making and end of day pizza party for the families of campers! From 2:30PM - 3:30PM at Two Pony Gardens
The six and a half hours that campers are with us are jam packed with tactile fun, breathing fresh air, interacting with the farm's microbiome. These kids leave happy, tired and with a healthier understanding of how we are all connected to this planet, this place we call home.

During this last pick up we welcome families of campers to come tour the farm with the guidance of your well-versed farm camper. This time of reinforcement is crucial in the way that young people create understanding. Showing you, telling you, that helps cement lessons that your camper learned. Showing and sharing all they've absorbed is wonderful and we encourage you to engage and create the memory with your family, take lessons learned into your everyday! Plus, enjoy a slice or two of our delicious wood fired pizza as we celebrate the community the campers have created over the experience.
Farm Camp is not religiously affiliated but we are very thankful to Trinity Lutheran Church who graciously allow for us to utilize their parking lot space to gather campers before our hike to Two Pony though the woods. This allows for campers to have a magical experience, arriving somewhere upon the hard work of their feet! It also allows for forty less cars a day to upset our neighbors and the fragile ecosystem of Deerhill Road where we live. Creating that connection with Wolsfeld Woods starts with the hike.
Our Farm Camp at Two Pony Gardens has become a truly beautiful part of our farm's mission
and we are so thrilled to be offering up the experience again to over one hundred young people!
Instilling campers with the skills and experiences needed to create a lasting relationship with
our planet and natural cycles is what we are all about and next summer we will channel our six
years of experience into another great summer of learning.
