Summer Camp Drumlin Farm Summer Day Camp Our program:
On any given summer day at Drumlin Farm, the sounds and smiles of campers fill the sanctuary. They are mucking about in the barns, finding signs of wildlife in the forests and fields, exploring the waters of a pond, hiking up to the Drumlin, or enjoying the harvest of Boyce field. Drumlin Farm prides itself on providing forty summers of positive experiences for youth in the natural world.
Our summer camp programs utilize the farm and sanctuary as a fun-filled place for learning about one's self, others, and the natural world. Campers explore farm, field, forest, and pond environments in small groups guided by trained Day Camp Teacher Naturalists. Essential farm and nature experiences are enriched by activities that respond to children's changing abilities and interests.
Older campers expand their experience through programs that focus on specialized knowledge in areas such as conservation, sustainable farming, local cultural history, and Massachusetts' habitats. Like any traditional summer camp, we also find time and place for lots of games, songs, stories, and campfires. In the spirit of community, every session includes an all-camp event for the whole family. We look forward to seeing you this summer!
Our philosophy:
Three primary concepts provide the foundation for our camp philosophy: Community, Interdependence, and Stewardship. We create a camp community that fosters respect for all campers, and for the world in which we live. We are committed to a camper-focused environment and working to build an understanding of our interdependence to one another as well as our interrelationship with the natural world. We strive to foster a connection between young people and the land that sustains them by creating a hands-on farm and nature camp experience for children and teens so that they may develop a sense of connection and stewardship to the natural world.
