Activities vary based on season, weather, animal needs, current farm projects, and age and group needs.

The Farm Becomes the Classroom

Campers learn by participating in real experiences.

Confidence grows through competence.

Animals are an important part of Spring Break Camp.

Depending on the animals and farm conditions, campers may work around horses, miniature horses, goats, sheep, pigs, cattle, donkeys, poultry, rabbits, and other Hidden Pastures animals.

Not every animal participates every day.

Their wellbeing and comfort always come first.

No Two Days Are Exactly the Same

A working farm changes constantly.

Weather, animals, seasonal needs, and ongoing projects help shape each day.

We plan meaningful activities while leaving room for campers to experience the real life of the farm as it happens.

Specific activities cannot be guaranteed in advance.

Dress for Farm Life

Campers should arrive prepared for active outdoor days.

Please bring or wear:

  • Closed-toe shoes or boots
  • Comfortable clothes that can get dirty
  • Weather-appropriate clothing
  • Water bottle
  • Lunch and snacks as required by current camp instructions

Camp takes place outdoors and may involve heat, cold, wind, dust, mud, uneven ground, and natural farm smells and sounds.
