Upcoming Events & Programs


November Pop-Up Camps

Pop-Up Farm Camps
$125.00

We will be offering pop-up farm camps during the Bainbridge Island School District’s professional development days. We have designed the timing to allow various drop-off times depending on which school your child goes to. (9:30am - 3pm for full day and 11:30am - 5pm for the half days)

If you are dressed for it, there is always plenty to do, rain or shine. We will have time in the craft studio, out by the fire, down in the forest, in the goat paddock or chicken coop or maybe clamoring around Club Nettle in the treehouse with new friends.

Put your screens down and head out for a goat walk!

See you out there!

● Summer

Farm Camp is an opportunity for kids to explore the farm and studio spaces in a guided and lightly structured way with their community. We learn to treat all animals, friends and farm property with kindness and respect. Seasonal themes and prompts are provided. Be ready to join in on farm and garden lessons, craft-out in the studio, create a beautiful muddy mess in Mud Kitchen, fuss with the hens and goats, play outdoor games in the forest and field and have plenty of social time with peers and camp guides.
