You will be prompted to create a Brightwheel account (if you do not already have one). Once you have a Brightwheel account you will be prompted to fill out a form. Please complete a form for each child. We will allocate the spots on a first come first serve basis. 

Pip & Pickles Farm Camp Details

We welcome Campers ages 5 to 14 years old

On the farm your child will explore...

Our explorations take us on many adventures throughout the natural landscape. Children may look for treasures such as geodes and fossils, engage in birdwatching, compare creek and pond ecology, build a herbarium collection, and care for our farm animals, goats and chickens. Children love to tend our organic garden, water plants, harvest, cook, and participate in our farm economics project. They enjoy preparing goods for the farmer’s market!

We also make yoga stories and dance, create ropes courses, sing, play drums, paint and create sculptures, engage in theatrical activities and podcasting news, creating light shows and shadow, as well as build our imagination in the Exploratorium ( and yes get a little bit of cool air conditioning on a hot day). We hike with and without goats, play sports, and express the mind through art, music, writing, and handwork. Each camper is encouraged to participate in the Pip and Pickles talent show at the end of the two weeks. We always enjoy the diversity of our campers interests, from soccer kicks to magic tricks, everyone has a talent!

In the past four summers we have seen the need for children to build extensive friendship and community in the wake of the pandemic. This is why we created three sessions of two weeks each. In this way, we aim to empower our campers to develop more meaningful relationships and connections with other campers as well as experience a growing sense of belonging and autonomy within the context of our guided farm and lab activities. Give them the gift of time to develop competencies, self expression, and confidence while building on experiences and developing projects.
