EVERYTHING I COULD HAVE WANTED FOR MY 4-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER!
"The Art Farm summer camp was everything I could have wanted for my 4 year old daughter. It was my daughter’s first experience attending camp. She was excited to go each day. When I picked her up after a full day of camp and extended day, she had numerous fun activities and stories to share. Some of my daughter’s favorite activities were live animal classes, gardening, water play, and art projects. Not only were the activities great, the teachers and staff members were enthusiastic, warm and down to earth. My daughter came home telling me she loved several of her teachers and gave reasons why. I’m so grateful that during the middle of a pandemic, my daughter got to have such a safe and fabulous experience at the Art Farm. I highly recommend the camp!"

A WONDERFULLY RUN ORGANIZATION!
My daughter has been frequenting the Art Farm since she was an infant. We always wanted to instill a love for animals and found this to be such a wonderful space to do it in. Art Farm has incredible teachers, animal handlers and general staff. There has not been a single bad interaction in all the classes, playtimes and special events that we’ve attended. At 2.5, my daughter knows the animals by name and always asks to go to the farm. A wonderfully run organization! We feel so lucky to live so close to enjoy it often.
