Erica,
We organized one, but didn't follow through because of the COVID shutdown. It was to be a day camp, run in conjunction with summer school. The high school provided the classroom in the morning and bus in the afternoon. Trips were organized to various entities in the area--a honey bee farm, an urban farm, a donation garden, a grocery store (to discuss produce layout), a feed store, etc. Financial donations were provided by local businesses, and a grocery store was to donate food. We were going to utilize the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service for education. This is a great idea, and I'm sure you can think of similar opportunities in your area. The state agriculture service is always a terrific resource. Good luck!

Hello!
Does anyone have experience designing and implementing farm-based summer camp programming for school-aged kids? Would love to hear how you went about planning it, setting it up, logistics, costs, and how you run your summer camp program. Thanks!
