Summer Camps for Children and Teen Service Learning |
Phillips Farm Nature Day Camp -- for Grade School Children
We have offered day camps for grade school children every summer since 2014. Day campers at our Phillips Farm Nature Camp discover all that nature has to offer as they hike the trails, explore the pond, and learn about local wildlife. Songs, games, and outdoor adventures make this camp a summer highlight.
