If you answered yes to these questions, then this camp is for you!
Participants will have the opportunity to get their hands dirty both on Pingry’s campus farm and in our forest. They will plant, care for and harvest crops at the farm, care for our flock of chickens, learn about forest management on our campus and more, all while learning basic principles of sustainable farming and environmental biology. They will also get to learn some cooking skills to use their home-grown produce and go on a full-day hike to compare our environment to one that looks different. Please note that the final day of the camp will go until 4:30.
