About this Event
Continue the farm-centered fun with our brand-new farm camp for 10-12 year olds! Campers will dive deeper into what it takes to grow food in an arid environment, taste delicious summer veggies, and create lasting relationships.
Second Farmers will explore the biodiversity of our urban farm. From soil microbes to critters to humans, campers will learn about the farm ecosystem and growing food in an arid environment. Making observations, planting seeds, harvesting, and tasting farm-made snacks will make for an immersive week that connects the food on campers' plates to the ecosystem that creates it.
Most excitingly, campers will leave a legacy by contributing to TVF’s first-ever seed library! Through this seed-saving project, your camper will help preserve and share desert-adapted plants with the community and future generations of growers.
This camp will take place at TVF's "Big Farm" located at 2201 E. Roger Rd.
Ages: 10 - 12
