Unconference

For two half-days during camp, campers decide the agenda. This format fosters peer-to-peer learning, collaboration and creativity. Bring your own ideas and inquiries. No preparation is required, just come with your shoes-off self.

Field Trips

On Sunday afternoon, we have a selection of local field trips which campers sign up for in advance, and lots of open space and time at the beautiful grounds of the Farmer's Institute for emergent explorations.
