Going through the Natural Resources & Wildlife Technology program at Garrett College only fueled the fire for my interests. My love of fungi and plants started in college and grew while working for the local state parks as an outdoor educator. I find that spending time outside allows me to appreciate all the small things life has to offer. I have spent 10 years as an outdoor educator in my free time\, teaching classes for several local organizations. I currently work as a Natural Resources Technician III for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. My passion is to inspire others to learn about our natural world and why it is so important to conserve what we have left.”  Chris\n\n\nChris Hull\, The Fungi URL:https://allearthtours.com/event/discover-the-wonderful-world-of-edible-plants-and-wild-mushrooms/ LOCATION:Friendsville Community Park\, 945 Community Drive\, Friendsville\, MD\, 21531\, United States CATEGORIES:Foraging,Wildflower & Bird Walks ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://allearthtours.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/DSC_2240.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="All Earth Eco Tours":MAILTO:Carol@allearthtours.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240708T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240711T160000 DTSTAMP:20250514T120717 CREATED:20240212T143033Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240324T175003Z UID:4230-1720432800-1720713600@allearthtours.com SUMMARY:Kids Summer Farm Day Camp 2024 DESCRIPTION:Kids Summer Farm Day Camp 2024\nSo much fun learning at Farm Camp!

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. \nAt 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. \nA 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! \n \n  \nOur 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! \nThis 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. \nBeyond 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. \nOur 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. \nFor more information on the Kids Summer Farm Day Camp or other exciting tours\, visit our website or contact Carol at 301-746-4083.
