Junior Farmer Summer Day Camp 2025
Find the joy of real work while practicing sustainability, purpose, and stewardship.
Summer Day Camp at Pactamere Farm is for children 5-12 years old who love animals, the outdoors, and have an interest in learning about daily farm life.
Our week long camp, runs Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM -3:30 PM and offers a variety of authentic hands-on “chores”, crafting and outdoor play that will expose your child to the day-to-day operations of our working farm. Activities will include caring for our chickens, goats, alpacas, pigs, sheep, cow and peacock. Your Junior Farmer will also help grow and harvest a garden of seasonal vegetables, fruits, and flowers, make goat milk cheese, create a one of a kind scented goat milk soap bar, learn to felt using alpaca wool, paint a flowerpot, and even partake in some goat yoga! Expect your Junior Farmer to get “down and dirty” at our week long camp filled with lots of farm fun.
On Friday, to celebrate a week of learning and having fun with animals, we'll have a water play day. We set up sprinklers, a splash pad, water balloons, etc! Please send your child in their swimsuit on Friday morning and pack them a change of clothing and towel.
Upon camp completion, we will email you a photo collage of your camper’s fun week along with two complementary tickets to attend one of our summer movie nights.
Why Pactamere Farm Camp?
Our Camp offers a fun summer camp experience on a real working farm. We work to create a fun and safe environment that encourages independence while nurturing lasting friendships. At a time when children are increasingly surrounded by smart phones, computers, television, our goal is to get campers outside, actively creating, playing and learning. Your child will be a hands-on, active participant in our farm community.
While our junior farmers play an integral role in caring for the animals and farm we also incorporate crafts, games, fun challenges and learning about our environment and how to care for it.
Our program focuses on promoting a positive self-image, encouraging friendships with both humans and animals and practicing a healthy lifestyle. Ultimately, our goal is to have these experiences, friendships and laughter stay with campers the rest of their lives.
A Week of Hands on Fun!
Hands-on involvement provided by our farm camp encourages children to be active and fosters a love for animals, nature and outdoor activities.
From Goat Yoga to Capture the flag, our summer camp allows children to stay active, while having a blast!
