What to know
From soil to salad and compost to cobbler: calling all farm foodies! Campers tend to the garden, harvest fresh ingredients and create snacks while gaining an understanding of sustainable food systems. At the end of the week, campers put their skills to the test in a friendly cooking challenge, leaving camp with an appreciation for where their food comes from.
