Summer Countdown!!

We want to share this experience with anyone who is truly interested in learning, engaging and participating in all or most of the lessons. This is why we suggest 12 years or older; however, if you have a child younger than 12 that you believe is mature enough for this camp, let’s chat! To provide the best experience, we are only accepting 3-5 participants a week and will try to keep similar age groups together. 

We are hosting 8 weeks of Summer Camps between July 1st through August 28th except for one week from August 5th-9th for a planned vacation.  

Camp will run from 8:30-3:30 Monday-Wednesday with the option for early drop off and late pickup. There is no additional cost; however, there may not always be adult supervision during extended hours. 

There is a $40 non-refundable registration fee to enroll, not included in the following tuition rates. Rates include camp hours, extended hours, snacks and supplies. Discounts available for enrolling in multiple weeks (they don’t have to be consecutive) or save even more and enroll for the entire Summer!

Once enrollment is accepted, a 50% deposit is due to hold your child's spot for each week they are enrolled. This is refundable up to two weeks (14 days) before the start of each week, which is when the remaining balance is due, if not already paid in full.

We are also open to accepting weekly or monthly payment plans if needed. Cash payments are always preferred but we can also accept payment through Venmo, Zelle or Facebook Pay. Links are available below!

Here is an example of a daily routine participants can expect, but this will be largely dependent on the weather. We will take advantage of the cooler morning hours for garden work and chores and bring activities inside or to shaded areas in the afternoon. 

7:30-8:45 Arrival (Relax period to socialize, eat breakfast, read, etc)

8:45 Morning Meeting - Discuss the days tasks & goals

9:00 Yoga, Meditation & Mindfulness 

9:30 Watering & Harvesting

10:30 Snack & Break 

11:00 Garden Tasks

12:30 Lunch & Break

1:00 Nature Walk or Plant Identification

2:00 Preserving, Baking, Craft or Project 

3:30-5:00 Departure (Hang time to socialize, have a snack, play games, sports, bike ride, etc) 

We live on an active and working little homestead and must often be flexible and go with the flow and demand of the season. We cannot always predict what projects will come up or when produce will be ready to harvest. For this reason, weekly activities will be structured with a loose theme, projects & lessons. 

One of the many benefits of our camp is participants get to bring home the products of their hard work, such  as seeds, plants, fresh produce, dried herbs, medicinal products, canned goods, honey, extracts, freeze dried goodies, eggs, chicks (if allowed) and more. 

Lexi interned with a professional baker and learned how to make sugar cookies. She will be demonstrating this as one of our baking projects and participants will get to make, decorate and bring home their own delicious cookies. 

Students will need to bring a lunch (hot or cold). We will provide snacks and there will be lots of garden grazing opportunities as the season progresses. 

We will be outside a lot. Please bring sunscreen or your preferred sun protection gear and wear weather appropriate attire that can get dirty. Having an extra change of clothes is never a bad idea and it would be helpful to have an extra pair of "working" shoes that can remain here during the week. 

We are located about 10 minutes off I-5 from both Exit 99 and Exit 95. It takes approximately 15 minutes to get to the Westside, Tumwater and Rochester. If daily transportation to our home is an issue, we may be able to help by arranging a carpool or meeting somewhere closer to town.
