Want to give your child a taste of sustainable education? The Unquowa School’s Summer Farm Camp is open to children in grades Pre-K through 6th and “offers the fun of traditional camp while teaching the principles of sustainable food systems and land stewardship” according to Head of School Sharon Lauer. You can download a brochure from their web site.
All but the smallest campers take daily trips up to Sport Hill Farm for a true hands-on organic farming experience and receive daily cooking lessons from Chef Peter. On Fridays, Chef Peter works with the campers to prepare a healthy, well-balanced meal from the foods they’ve harvested throughout the week.
Has your child attended this camp? Mine did and are looking forward to returning this year to work with Patti on her farm and cook with Peter.
