Grow, learn, play, explore.

Running from July 7th through the 10th, our day camp invites young campers to immerse themselves in the wonders of nature and farming near fabulous Deep Creek Lake. Hosted in collaboration with Backbone Farm, this one-of-a-kind Summer Farm Day Camp encourages children to get their hands dirty and experience the life of an organic farmer on this breathtakingly beautiful farm in the gorgeous Pleasant Valley of Garrett County, Maryland.

At our Summer Farm Day Camp, children explore sustainable farming methods, engage in mushroom hunts, discover diverse wildlife like snakes and salamanders, and participate in creative activities such as painting, decorating with flowers, cooking and planning their very own play, which they will perform for their families the last evening of Farm Camp, when we share a meal and rejoice in all the great things we’ve completed that week. Kids love showing and telling all about their time here, so they get to lead their families on a little tour of the farm, followed by a fun and fabulous al fresco farm to table dinner.

A little down time goes a long way in sustaining a healthy mind and body too, so each day we do some yoga and spend a few quiet minutes working on journals. Cooking is always a big favorite with the kids, so one day, we make a simple salad together with ingredients straight from our garden. We end our week Thursday with a farm to table dinner party for all the families, which the kids help plan, harvest and prepare. Campers also the practical skill of starting a campfire. They love that!

 

Our campers love Farm Camp, the time spent with the animals and the farmers, being in the garden and the barn, making veggie sculptures and creating art. They also really enjoy the time we spend in the woods; playing in the creek, hunting snakes and amphibians, and our mushroom foray is always a big hit!

This program is tailor-made for families seeking to enrich their children’s appreciation of nature and sustainability while providing a safe, engaging, and educational environment. With limited spots available, families are encouraged to secure their reservations rapidly.

Beyond the farm, All Earth Eco Tours offers numerous escapades, including our popular Kayak Tours and our mesmerizing Birds of Prey Program and Grow your Own Gourmet Mushroom workshops near Deep Creek Lake. Adventurers will also revel in our guided hikes and foraging opportunities, highlighting the rich biodiversity around us.

Our offerings are meant to provide stress relief and support the busy lives of parents through expertly guided experiences. All Earth Eco Tours is committed to delivering enriching outdoor recreational activities that foster growth, relaxation, and family bonding.

We know that the kids who come to Farm Camp each year, not only have a great time, but they grow in ways that we can actually see. The Amercian Camp Association knows that Summer Camps are really good for kids too.  Here’s an article stating some of the ways camps help shape our young ones. Benefits of Camp | American Camp Association   And, here’s an interesting read on how Day Camps in particular are such a great experience. Why Day Camp Matters | American Camp Association

So many kids have had a wonderful time with us throughout the years, we hope you will choose us too and send your child, grandchild, niece, nephew or cousin to us and let us help them grow.
