Pro-D Day Camp – Thursday, May 5, 2022

Description

At Superior Farms’ Pro-D Day Farm Camp, campers aged 6–12 will delve into farm life as it changes throughout the year through hands-on experiences with the farm animals, exploring the nature around the farm, and engaging in fun, themed crafts and activities. Together we’ll learn about the animals and animal care, play games, build seasonal crafts (and maybe even forts), and explore all there is to discover at Superior Farms.

Program Details

• Program space is limited to 18 participants, aged 6-12.
• Programs are full days (9:00am-3:00pm, with drop-off beginning at 8:30; extended care is available until 4:30pm)
• Extended care is supervision only where children may spend time with the animals, work on their crafts, play games, or play on our sports court, based on the interest of the group.
• Register for single days or multiple days; activities and crafts will shift throughout the season and between days, with the exception of daily animal care, so that returning participants can expect something new each day.
• Participants are expected to bring their own waste-free, nut-free lunch and snacks.
• Programs run rain or shine and participants should come prepared for all types of possible weather conditions.
