CAMP LEADERSHIP PROGRAM for Youth ages 13-15
The Camp Leadership Program (CLP) combines service, leadership development, skill building, adventure, and fun! The program is hands-on with 80 acres of a working farm with woods, creeks, fields, and gardens to explore. Citizen science and camp service projects give CLP's special learning opportunities and responsibilities. Our new low ropes course will add additional challenge to team building! CLP's learn about food first hand through gardening, cooking and along side farmers. They harvest blueberries and blackberries, veggies and herbs for culinary classes and help make snacks for the whole camp. Caring for and visiting our farm animals is a part of every day. CLPs are big brothers and sisters to the younger campers during community care (chore) times and for story reading.
This year the CLP program will have a weekly on-farm adventure taking a deeper dive with special guests who will share their passion for nature, cooking, gardening, crafting and stewardship (care of the Earth) with them. We are within walking distance of Bridge Street Golf (located on a corner of the farm) and will enjoy weekly golf lessons at the driving range. Archery is always popular whether a novice or experienced!
Good health in the camp community is maintained with caring vigilance of families and a nurse on staff and through the guidance of the CDC, county and state health guidelines with safety as our priority. Social and emotional wellness are cultivated with the support of a social worker and as everyone contributes to a positive community of friends. Two fresh homemade snacks are provided daily and CLPs help to make and serve them several times a week. Exercise comes naturally when exploring the farm and through big group games. The best part of the program is doing all this great stuff with friends on a farm!
