Summer Camp 2026

Experience our unique blend of farm and forest on the southwest edge of Gresham, Oregon! This summer we are offering two weeks of day camps for elementary aged campers that combine forest exploration, nature-based art, and caring for our small flock of Shetland sheep, plus a new offering for older youth! 


Nature Maker’s Camp

Age: Children entering 1st - 5th grade in fall 2026
These week-long day camps start at 9:00 am and end at 3:00 pm daily.

We pack our day camp full of farm fun and nature-inspired creativity! We will explore all the ways we can create things both practical and beautiful from the forest and farm around us. Campers will explore their creativity though many mediums such as projects that use wool from our sheep, dyeing fabric with natural dyes that we grow on the farm, making their own natural art supplies like paint and ink, and creating art inspired by the natural setting around them. In addition to this creative fun, each day campers will care for our sheep and rabbits, tend to the plants in the garden, and spend plenty of time enjoying open-ended play in the forest.

This camp is offered 2 separate weeks. Campers are welcome to attend both weeks but many activities and art projects will repeat.

Cost: $425
20% discount applicable when registering siblings.


Wild Balance Camp

Age: Youth entering 6th - 9th grade in fall 2026
This 3-day camp starts at 9:00 am and ends at 1:00 pm daily.

Find balance in the woods through creativity and curiosity! In this 3-day camp, youth will explore the woods, gather natural materials, and turn what they find into beautiful, usable creations. Projects include nature-based art, natural dyeing, and self-care projects such as making their own lip balm, herbal tea blends, and handmade journal. 

Along the way we will play games, spend time with the rabbits and sheep, tell stories, and relax in the shade of the forest. This camp is perfect for youth who enjoy being outside and want to learn to make things that support their creativity and well-being. At the end of three days, campers will leave with handmade items they’re proud of and lots of happy memories of farm and forest. 

Cost: $225
20% discount applicable when registering siblings.

After she came home from the first day of camp, she recalled each exciting activity with such enthusiasm that I said, “These are your people!” This is exactly where she needs to be to thrive!
