Summer is the time for harvesting, and in this 3-day camp participants will learn easy, delicious recipes to make from fresh produce. Campers will learn about edible plants, how they’re grown, and how they’re used. Each day will include outdoor exploration, games, stories, and making lunch.  

This is a drop-off camp. A small snack will be provided, but campers are required to pack their own bag lunch each day. Dress for the weather as we will be outside exploring most of the time!
