Description

Bees are the superheroes of the insect world. They have ultraviolet vision, can smell a flower from miles away and can fly for six miles nonstop. Bees also pollinate ⅓ of all our food crops and, of course, make an incredibly delicious and nutritious food--honey! This week we’ll learn amazing facts about bees as we study live hives and preserved specimens. And, of course, we’ll snack on plenty of sweet sticky honey snacks! On Friday, kids can educate their parents on bees’ superpowers while they snack on honey treats.

Most activities will be on the farm and in the farmhouse, but we will also take walking/bus field trips to playgrounds.  Camp runs Monday-Friday, August 20-24, 9AM-3PM.  Campers may be dropped off beginning at 8:40 and can be picked up until 3:20 at no extra charge.

Seed to Table camps offer an intimate, nourishing environment for children to engage in gardening, cooking, crafting, and community-building.  Our camps have a maximum of 15 children, and staff-child ratios are 1-7 or better.  While our costs for staffing, food and supplies are higher than at some camps, we do our best to make camp affordable for everyone.  Please choose your level of financial support from the options below.  If all these options are unaffordable for you, please fill out a financial aid form here, and we will contact you about scholarships. After registering, please fill out this enrollment form so we have the information we need to keep your child safe and healthy.
