Give your child a summer filled with hands-on learning, outdoor adventure, and farm fun. Farm Camp at Center Grove Orchard connects kids with animals, crops, and nature through guided activities led by our dedicated camp staff.
Our farm camp is designed to provide children with a fun and educational experience that fosters a love for nature and agriculture. From feeding animals to planting seeds, campers participate in activities that promote teamwork, creativity, and a deeper understanding of where their food comes from.
Each day brings new adventures across the orchard — with plenty of time to play, explore, and make memories with new friends. Our experienced camp staff keeps every session safe, engaging, and full of farm discovery.
Through a mix of structured activities and free play, campers will have the opportunity to explore the farm, interact with animals, and learn about the importance of agriculture.
Campers will learn how to care for and interact with a variety of farm animals, including sheep, goats, and chickens.
From planting seeds to harvesting crops, campers will learn about the life cycle of plants and the importance of healthy soil.
Our farm provides the perfect setting for outdoor exploration, with plenty of space to run, play, and discover the wonders of nature.
Farm camp provides a great opportunity for children to make new friends, work together as a team, and develop important social skills.
