Summer Camps

These exciting new programs have been such a gift to the community garden this past summer.

We offer three different camps throughout the summer. All of our current camps are geared toward children aged 9-15, but we hope to be expanding our camps in the future so keep your eyes peeled! If you have a few kids that are younger than we plan for we can make special arrangements if your youngest has an older sibling that can look after them at camp. Email us

Each camp is located in the community garden at Peaceful Belly Farm and has a range of different skills that we focus on for three days at a time!
