Where does our food come from, and how does it bring people together? In Farm to Table, campers explore the journey from seed to plate through hands-on gardening, food discovery, and creative design.
Students will plant and observe, learn about seasonal ingredients, explore how food is grown and harvested, and consider how presentation and hospitality shape our experience of a meal. Campers will design thoughtful tablescapes, practice teamwork, and prepare elements for a Friday showcase that celebrates community and connection.
Throughout the week, campers build responsibility, curiosity, and appreciation for the people and processes that nourish us every day.
Perfect for kids who enjoy creating, exploring, and learning how simple ingredients can tell a bigger story.
This program is designed for students entering grades 1–6 in the fall of 2026.
Camp Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–4:00 PM
Free aftercare is available 4:00 PM–5:00 PM
Campers will need to bring their own lunches. Snacks are provided in the morning and in the afternoon.
