A Classic Outdoor Summer Camp Experience
Stonewall Farm summer camp has been providing classic outdoor summer camp experiences for children since the early 1990s! The goal of the camp is to provide time for children to connect with nature and learn about the relationship between people, agriculture and the environment through developmentally appropriate experiential learning activities. Children are immersed in the daily rhythms of the farm by helping with farm chores, caring for animals, harvesting and tasting crops and observing and interacting with the natural world. There is plenty of free time incorporated throughout the day to let children’s natural curiosity guide learning and it is, after all, summer! Activities include working with animals, gardening, cooking, nature-based crafts, hiking, playing and fishing in the brook, storytelling, campfires, games and more!
Campers may be registered for one week or as many as they like. Camp runs Monday through Friday from 8:30a-4p. Single day registrations are available once the camp season starts and only if space is available.

A: Please email or call the Education office at 603-352-5577 to submit your request. We will do our best to make sure your request is honored, although we cannot guarantee it. We are usually able to accommodate almost every request we receive.
Q: What age campers do you serve?
A: Campers must have turned 4 by the first of the year in order to attend camp. Our oldest group serves campers who will be entering grades 4-6 in the fall.
Q: What is a typical camp day like?
A: Camp begins with a morning circle which begins promptly at 9a in each group’s designated home base area. Campers then have a morning snack time, followed by their first activity time (garden time, forest time, craft time, playground time, farm animal visits, hiking, etc). Groups stop for a quick bathroom break and then transition to their second morning activity time. Lunch takes place at either 11:40 for younger groups or 12:10 for older groups. In the afternoons campers enjoy one more activity time then change into swimsuits to enjoy our popular creek time! We end each day at the farm with a large group circle around 3:30 where groups sing songs, play games and hear announcements for the following day.
