Farm Camp July 20-24, 2020 ages 8+

Farm, Nature & Horseback Riding Day Camp

Do you have fond memories of your childhood? Relaxed days spent in (mostly) unstructured outdoor play; the freedom to discover things on your own; taking your time to explore the world around you?

Our children are so often overscheduled and surrounded by stress in today's busy,hectic world. Prairie Winds Nature Farm offers an alternative:a safe haven, a relaxed atmosphere and a space to let them learn naturally. Here, they can: run around in the woods, ride a pony, take prairie hikes, lie on their backs and watch the clouds, and just be kids. A variety of activities are available: you and your child decide or let us guide them.

For an extra $5/hour, children can be dropped off earlier and/or stay later. 

A $10 discount is available for siblings -- each child from the same family that registers for camp is eligible for $10 off their camp session. This does NOT include single day registrations. Just enter "SIBLING" when prompted for the promotional code during the registration process. If you'd like to donate your discount back to the farm, then simply omit entering the promotional code. Scholarships are also available if needed.  All donations to the farm go to our scholarship fund and are tax deductible. We are a 501(c) 3 not for profit educational organization.  Go to http://bit.ly/farmcampscholarship to choose additional promotional codes (discounts)  if you truly need it. Promotional codes assume attendance all 5 days.  If you need financial assistance and your child(ren) can only attend certain days please email us at pwindsfarm@gmail.com and we will figure it out!  Please consider volunteering to transport additional children along with your own.  And let us know if you are in need of transportation!

"Riding horses was a blast! We got a lesson and then a real trail ride almost every morning. When we weren't riding or grooming the ponies we got to explore the whole farm with a buddy- making sure to check in with an adult every hour or so.  When it rained we got to play in the hayloft.  We worked in the garden, picked blackberries, fed and led goats, held chickens & mice, and raced each other to the rope swing. And when it was really hot we got to swim in the pond if it was OK with our parents. A bunch of kids spent almost the whole day building a house out of sticks! Others worked on their PhD (post hole digging) degrees ;).
