Sun Star Farm​

Pioneering & Gem Mining Week #2   July 16 - 20​​

Food Art and Gardening Week!   July 9 - 13​​

​​​​Ever dig for dinosaur bones or wonder how nomads lived and ate?  We'll excavate an archeological site and discover unusual things as we pull them out of the earth.  We build shelters, "hunt" for dinosaurs, cook over an open fire and more.  Who knew that dinosaurs often roamed around Sun Star Farm?!  Feed your little ones primal inner nature!

Summer Camp at Sun Star Farm - 2018

​



​


The summer is a wonderful time to be outside building fairy castles, feeding chickens and llamas, taking baby goats for a walk, scampering through the forested trails, and flying kites on breezy days…

Similar to our school year program, summer camp weeks provide opportunities for imaginative play and natural discovery, which childhood experts recognize as essential to children's healthy emotional and intellectual development.

We welcome children who enjoy and need lots of outdoor time. Storytelling, puppetry, singing, water play, crafting from natural materials, gardening, farm animal care and more…will fuel your child's imagination!  Everyday ends with a delicious organic popsicle - yum.

All Camp weeks have TONS of farm animal care and interaction, yet each week has a different theme and educational component.


Dinosaur Dig Week!     June 11 - 15

​

We have loads of pure clay just inches beneath the grass and along the creek at the farm. Grab a shovel, dig to your heart's content, then sculpt, mold, create.  You may find fossils along the way - or even gems!  Be a farmer and get your hands dirty planting the crop. Learn about seeds, sprouts, and how things grow.  Learn about wiggly worms, composting, and do cool crafts for your home garden.

Ponies Week for Older Kids (Ages 6-10)!  July 23 - 27​​

Ponies Week for Younger Kids (Ages 5-8)!  July 2 - 6​​

Fairies & Gnomes Week!     June 18 - 22

​

Little fluffy bunnies - need we say more?  Our domestic lion-head bunnies are adorable and calm so campers can hold, care for, and learn all about them. Guinea pigs are sweet and always grateful for a blade of grass to nibble on (think "eating a spaghetti noodle one bite at a time")  Muckley, the Kune Kune pig, will be the star of the show this week - more like a big dog than a pig.  A good tummy scratch and he is in heaven.  Crafts, games, and other fun activies will have your little one hoppin' this week!

​Smooth river rocks, pebbles, clay and sand of every strata are just waiting in the creek for collection and sorting!  Panning for gold and gemstones is fascinating work and tons of fun.  We learn pioneering skills, make soap, candles, and other hands-on projects. Real Native American arrowheads have even been discovered. Cooking on an open-fire also brings joy and a sense of accomplishment during this action-packed week!
