Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a farmer?

Junior Farmer Camp, is designed to help kids discover for themselves by stepping into a farmer’s shoes for a week.

Junior Farmer Camp is as hands-on as it gets. Campers will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the farm’s cows, chickens, goats, and sheep while learning the work that goes into the food we eat. In addition to daily farm chores and activities, we will explore a different farming topics like dairy, gardening, and tractors. A week’s activities will include:

Caring for the farm’s calves
Checking out the chickens, goats, sheep, and turkeys
Nurturing the food growing in the Farmstead Gardens
Trying your hand at plant-based dying and weaving

The safety and care of your child is of the utmost importance to us while they are a camper at Billings Farm & Museum. We carefully vet and screen camp counselors, conducting both background and reference checks before hiring them to work with our campers. Our response to COVID-19 will continue to be updated as necessary. Campers and parents will receive prior notice of all other safety precautions and processes implemented at the Farm & Museum. Please let us know if you have any questions about our safety practices.

Thank you for choosing Billings Farm & Museum’s Summer Camp Program and we look forward to seeing you soon!
