Elodie Farms is very excited to sponsor our very first summer camp this year! Dave has for years given tours to school and youth groups who have learned so much about his daily life on the farm. No time for play station or nintendo out here! Your children can now experience what life on a real, working farm is all about.

Campers will feed and care for the animals, gather eggs, learn how to milk the goats and make cheese. They will see many varieties of vegetables and fruits organically grown. They will learn about the wonderful circle that begins with the sunshine and rain which nourish the fields that feed the gardens, goats (which produce the milk that makes the cheese), chickens (who lay the eggs) and the horses, rabbits and "Eddie" (our miniature donkey). Children will see that food does not come from a fast food restaurant, or the frozen food section of the grocery store, but from farms with real farmers and animals. For many children (and some adults) this is a whole new experience that affords them the opportunity to appreciate the history and importance of sustainable agriculture.

Everyone loves to eat, so Dave's good friend Chef Adam Rose, will assist the kids in gathering ingredients produced on the farm and give them a cooking class they won't soon forget. There will also be plenty of time for playing games, swimming, fishing, dance classes, wood working, arts and crafts , and much more. Please consider Elodie Farms Summer Camp this year! We will be staffed by a great group of counselors who have years of experience teaching and coaching young people. All are certified in CPR and would love to meet you. Sessions will be limited to only 40 children, so please be sure to reserve your spot now! If you have any questions, please call Camp Director Niki Wilson at 336.504.6828.
