Remember the joy of camp? The curiosity, connection, and freedom to learn by doing? Well camp is back, and this time it’s for grown-ups!
Join Kelly and Stacy, founders of The Farm and Forest Education Center, along with Rachel Briggs, creator of Dream Through STEAM, for an afternoon designed especially for educators who want to reconnect with nature, community, and the joy of learning.
Experience the farm as a learner as you feed cows and make butter, collect eggs and hold baby chicks, visit the pigs for a scratch, and harvest from the garden. Together, we’ll use what we gather to create a seasonal batch of fire cider while exploring the connections between food, land, and learning. You’ll leave with hands-on activities and ideas that can be adapted for classrooms, nature programs, homeschool settings, and community learning spaces, with connections to science, literacy, math, and place-based education.
Rachel will guide participants through community-building experiences that explore the interconnectedness of people, land, and history, creating space for reflection, conversation, and renewed inspiration. Whether you’re a classroom teacher, outdoor educator, homeschool parent, librarian, museum educator, or lifelong learner, Adult Farm Camp offers a chance to slow down, get your hands dirty, spark new ideas, and connect with fellow educators.
