1 2019 Drumlin Farm Camp Discover. Explore. Be Outside.

2 Welcome to Drumlin Farm Camp! We inspire campers ages 4 17 to explore local habitats while connecting them to the joys and wonders of the natural landscape a tradition we ve maintained since Campers learn about nature, farming, and where the two intersect, through outdoor exploration. Our goal is to inspire a lifelong connection between campers and the land. Camp activities are carefully planned to meet this goal while creating memorable and joyous experiences. At the heart of our camp program are three leading concepts. Community We create a welcoming, supportive community in which campers feel free to try new things, make friends, and learn to respect one another and their surroundings. Interdependence We emphasize the interdependence of all living things. Campers learn about natural cycles, and the interconnectedness of people, agriculture, wildlife, and habitats. Stewardship Campers learn to take responsibility for their world through sustainable farming and conservation of wild spaces.
