There is something for everyone at Snipes Farm Day Camp! Camp is set on an historic and bucolic 150-acre working sustainable farm with fields, woods and a farm museum. Days begin with fun farm chores: feeding animals, tending the children’s garden, harvesting vegetables and cooking a morning snack. Daily activities include: art, science, theater, music and games. Campers explore animal habitats; go on nature scavenger hunts; meet crawling, hopping and four-legged friends, as well as, 200 year old trees. Fruit picking, fort building, painting and sculpting, juggling and circus arts are some favorite camp activities!

Campers are connected to the rhythm of life on the farm and make lasting friendships. Our 2017 camp season runs from June 26th- August 25th (no camp the week of July 4th) for children ages 5-12 years old. Camp hours are 8:30-3:30 with before and aftercare available. Before care begins at 7:30am and After Care goes until 6:00pm. Our rate is $320 per week with an Early Bird Special, sibling and multiple week enrollment discounts and financial aid scholarships are available.

A Day at Camp

  • Campers bring their own lunch but help to harvest fresh fruit and veggies to prepare healthy, delicious snacks.
  • Barns and shady groves host the daily activities of cooking, art, music and science.
  • The woods, fields and pastures offer opportunities to explore, play games and enjoy the land.
  • Farm Day Camp is a community created through the special friendships made with campers, counselors, farmers and animals.

Parent Testimonials:

We thought this could finally be a “one of a kind” summer experience for our son. To our delight it was and much, much more. He couldn't wait to go every day. He loved being able to interact with the farm animals every day. He came home dirty and tired and in love with the farm!!

Farm camp far exceeded our expectations. Our children are excited to go, and disappointed when it’s over. Farm camp is a collection of unique activities that you won’t find at other summer camps. As a parent I feel that I have provided my children with an experience, not a babysitter.

He thoroughly enjoyed his experience and actually cried when it was over. Well worth the money!

We chose Farm Camp because our daughter had such a great experience the previous summer. She loved being able to help take care of all the animals; she liked to arrive at camp early just to be able to spend extra time visiting the rabbits and chickens! She was always happy when she came home from farm Camp and excited to tell us about her day. She really enjoyed picking fruit and cooking treats with fresh foods from the farm. Everyone we interacted with at Farm Camp was wonderful and the experience more than met our expectations. We are definitely planning to send her again next year.

It was a great experience for him to form new relationships. Staff were great with nurturing those relationships and helping them grow positively. The staff were very pleasant and involved with the kids. You could tell they loved their jobs.
