Junior Farmer Camp is as hands-on as it gets. Junior Farmer Camp is designed to help kids discover farming for themselves by stepping into a farmer’s shoes.  Campers will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the farm’s cows, horses, chickens, and sheep while learning the work that goes into producing the food we eat. In addition to daily farm chores, the campers will explore topics like dairy farming, gardening, tractors, and draft animals. Fun farm activities include taking a hayride through the fields, celebrating garden fresh ingredients with a homemade pizza party, scavenger hunts around the farm and Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, and tie dyeing a souvenir to take-home. Billingsfarm.org/junior-farmer-camp
