It’s not too late to think about summer camp! There are lots of options, but If you want your kids outside, feeling nature, playing with animals, Farm Girl recommends you check out Farm Camp! During these camps, your kids will learn about the world and deepen their understanding of their health and the environment. They also learn about where food comes from, something we really value in our home. Summer camp at a farm provides a fun and educational summer experience. I’ve gathered some options for you to consider below.
