Summer Camp at DIG Farm Registration is Now Open

Join us for flexible, hands-on fun as we return to DIG Farm for Summer Farm Camp: Pick Your Adventure! Open to all explorers ages 2 & up.

How it works: Our unique “Pick Your Adventure” format lets you customize your child’s day hour-by-hour. Whether they stay for one activity or the whole session, they’ll dive into gardening, animal encounters, farm-to-table cooking, art, yoga, and more!

Important Summer Camp Update: Session 1 ends on Friday, July 17. After a short summer break, we’ll be back for our final two weeks of camp, August 17–28. As many summer camps wrap up for the season, FTPK is just getting started again! Join us for one last adventure-filled session to celebrate the end of summer with nature exploration, farm fun, creativity, and new friendships.

Join us Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM–2:00 PM, for two more weeks of farm adventures, nature exploration, creativity, and fun!

Please save your spot by these deadlines:
🌻 Session 2: Register by August 10 Spots are limited, so be sure to register soon to save your child’s place!

Registration numbers help us plan responsibly and ensure we can provide a wonderful summer experience for all our campers. Thank you for helping us make camp at the farm a success!

Learning Without Walls at Cabbage Hill Farm

We are thrilled to continue our partnership with The Farm at Cabbage Hill, where our For the People and Kids Learning Garden is flourishing!

We’re wrapping up an incredible summer season on August 1, then taking a short break before returning on August 10 to kick off our Fall Kids Learning Garden. This season, we’ll gather three mornings a week—Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays—and continue growing, exploring, creating, and harvesting together through November, when we’ll celebrate the season by putting the garden to bed for the winter. Fall registration is now open, and we’d love for your family to join us for another season of learning, friendship, and fun at the farm!

We’re also excited to bring back our rotating Family Saturdays, featuring hands-on activities, seasonal crafts, garden projects, and special family experiences throughout the fall. Be sure to keep an eye on our calendar and newsletter for upcoming dates and events.

Accessible to All: Thank You, M&T Bank

A huge thank you to M&T Bank for a generous grant that is directly funding 6 summer camp scholarships this season.
