Why choose a farm-based camp?
Being outside provides a holistic learning experience for kids, encompassing physical, mental, social, and emotional aspects of development. It contributes to a well-rounded and positive foundation for their overall growth and well-being.
We know not every child has an opportunity to experience farm life. At Still Creek Ranch, campers will have an opportunity to meet, feed and help care for the animals, play games and sports, learn about gardening and growing food and the importance of being good stewards to our land.
Learn
At our farm, learning takes a hands-on and immersive approach. Children will discover the wonders of agriculture, gain insights into animal care, and explore the natural world around them. From planting seeds to understanding the farm-to-table process, each day is an opportunity for educational discovery.
Play
Playful experiences are woven into the fabric of our camp. Whether it's outdoor games in wide-open spaces, creative arts and crafts inspired by farm life, or interactive sessions with our farm animals, we believe in the power of play to spark joy and foster a love for nature.
Grow
Beyond the soil and seeds, our camp is a nurturing ground for personal growth. Children will cultivate friendships, develop teamwork skills, and build a sense of responsibility through farm-related activities. The farm setting serves as a natural catalyst for personal growth, fostering resilience and a deeper connection to the world around them.
