Take flight this summer as a bio-explorer in a world of wings and wonders! In this high-energy camp, we bridge the gap between the sky and the soil to discover how the farm's smallest residents keep the planet spinning. From embarking on pollinator patrols with sweep nets, to excavating the hidden highways of wiggle-workers in our compost heaps, your camper will see the farm through a whole new lens. We’ll spend our days engineering five-star bug hotels, crafting botanical masterpieces using flower pigments, and solving the puzzle of how every bee and bloom works together. It’s a week of messy hands, curious minds, and a front-row seat to the most important 'tiny' jobs on the farm!

Camp Activities:
Storytime Exploration: Each camp will begin with an interactive and exploratory storytime. We will discuss our theme of the day, read correlated stories and poems, sing songs, and explore the farm. We will use seasonal literature to deepen the connection between the campers and Rosewood Farm’s landscape.
Arts & Crafts:  Our arts and crafts curriculum is reimagined as a bridge between scientific observation and creative expression, effectively transforming the entire farm into a vibrant outdoor studio. Campers will treat the landscape as their palette, gathering inspiration from the textures of the barnyard and the colors of the surrounding nature. By integrating natural elements, children don't just observe the farm; they use its raw materials to engineer functional art that gives back to the ecosystem they are studying.
Cooking: Our campers will have the opportunity to create and enjoy farm-to-table snacks using hands-on engagement with seasonal produce. Not only will we be able to enjoy a delicious snack, we will have the freedom and creativity to produce our own themed-snack and enjoy it with our friends!
Game Time:We will focus on developing gross motor skills like balance, coordination, and strength through high-energy, themed games! These activities, such as barnyard tag and harvest relay, are designed to build gross motor strength and coordination while fostering a sense of teamwork and fun!
What to Bring: 

• Sunscreen (please apply before camp starts, full day camp will have sunscreen applied again midday)
• Bug spray
• Lunch (we will be supplying a nutritious themed snack and have beverages available, but please provide a lunch for full day camp)
• Water bottle with your child’s name on it
• Please email info@rosewfarm.com to alert us of any allergies your child may have.

Logistics: This is a drop-off camp, allowing young adventurers to independently immerse themselves in the farm experience. Parents or guardians are kindly requested to sign a waiver at drop-off, ensuring a smooth and safe experience for all participants. Please have your child dressed ready to play and explore! We will be using natural materials and investigating our farm, so we may get a little dirty in the process. This camp will mainly be held outside, so please dress for the weather. In case of inclement weather, the camp will be held indoors. 
Important Notes: 
On Wednesday, July 29th, our camp will transform into a Farmer’s Market in the afternoon. Campers will have the opportunity to harvest their own crops, decorate their stand, and sell their product! We welcome all parents, family, and friends to come participate and shop for fresh produce (using fake money)! Please arrive by 1:30 pm. 
On Thursday, July 30th, we welcome all parents, family, and friends to join us for an end-of-camp picnic! We will have sharable snacks, games, music, and activities. We invite everyone to mingle, enjoy our farm, and celebrate our campers and their hardwork ! Please arrive by 1:00 pm.



Join us for a summer of discovery, laughter, and new friendships. Enroll your child today and let the magic of our weekly day camps create cherished memories that last a lifetime!
