After School Farm Camp
We offer after-school programming and seasonal camp days. In general, we follow the BISD calendar. This is an opportunity for kids ages 6-10 yrs to explore the farm in a guided and lightly structured way. We learn to treat all animals and farm property with kindness and respect. Seasonal themes and prompts are provided as we offer plenty of social time, creating in the studio and time to plunk down in the woods to build fairy houses or explore. Of course, there are always farm activities like feeding the goats, collecting eggs, or planting seedlings. There is truly something for everyone!
Don’t forget your mud boots, layers & rain gear for outdoor play galore! Goat and chicken snuggling, potion-making in Mud Kitchen, garden work and traipsing around in the forest can be messy stuff! A light, healthy snack will be provided.
Tues January 21 – Thurs April 3 | Choose TUES, WED or THURS (two-day maxium) | 2:45pm-5:00pm | Ages 6-10 yrs | $48/ meeting. Multi-week session paid in advance. No camp during Mid-Winter week February 17-21.
Our winter farm camp program includes much of our usual repertoire with more fireside snack time, heavier doses of studio crafting, and some bundled up time in the garden and forest. Please dress your kids appropriately for lots of outdoor time in nature and out with the goats!
Scholarships /alternate payments available. Contact erin@wardwellfarm.org
Winter Registration opens on-line early December.
Spring Session Begins April 15.
Monday Farm Hang
Do you have an older kid who wants to come hang at the farm each early-release Monday and sink their teeth into a more involved project? Perhaps a bit more independent work, a bit more guidance on a crafty endeavor, or simply a little break from their younger sibling? Monday Farm Hang time is perfect for this! We collect our big kid friends at Sakai and walk on back to the farm together each week.
January 27 – March 31 | Mondays | 2:15- 5:00PM | Ages 10-12 yrs | $50 per meeting | Flexible start times depending on early release schedule at different schools. Carpools encouraged. Sakai walking school bus meets at 2pm at the front door. No class February 17-21.

Parent & Me on the Farm
Bring your little one and spend a morning exploring on the farm, in the studio, in the garden or on the forest trails. It is a fun chance to meet the chickens and goats, do a bit of late season harvesting and gardening, digging and playing in Mud Kitchen or strolling in the woods along the stream with other families and your farm friends!
