Coming to The Farm is like entering another, magical world where life takes place in harmony with nature and one's own creative and physical needs.

Here children are valued and supported in the development of their talents no matter whether they have had a lot of experience and schooling or only a little.

We feel that children develop best when treated as individuals with their own special and unique path in life. For this reason, our camp is run in a non-competitive manner, emphasizing the significance of process and experience in learning over outcomes and goals.

Campers may try out and pursue any of the activities offered as they wish. Intense pre-occupation with a single art form is as welcome as involvement with a range of artistic experiences.

We make meeting the physical needs of children a priority: we create daily opportunities for rest and relaxation, offer naturally-based, nutritious foods, make available a unique selection of sports and movement-based activities, and live every day in the magnificent natural beauty of the Endless Mountains.
