Summer Camp at Broken Things Farm
Monday–Friday | 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM
Four Themed Weeks | For All Kids in 4th- 8th Grades
Summer Camp at Broken Things Farm invites kids to spend their days outdoors learning, creating, and contributing on a working farm. Each week has a central theme, allowing campers to dive deeper into specific skills and ideas, while still experiencing all aspects of farm life. Our days are thoughtfully balanced with hands-on work, creative exploration, and unstructured time.
Led by Mike and the Broken Things Farm team, campers will engage in meaningful, age-appropriate activities that encourage curiosity, collaboration, and confidence.
Daily Rhythm
Each day includes a mix of structured, theme-based activities and unstructured time for reading, writing, journaling, sketching, art projects, music, games, and free play. Campers will spend most of their day outdoors, with time built in for rest, reflection, and connection.
Community & Service
In addition to learning farm skills, campers will participate in service projects that give back to the farm and the wider community, helping kids understand stewardship, responsibility, and the value of contributing to something larger than themselves.
Whether your child loves to build, care for animals, garden, create art, or simply be outside, Summer Camp at Broken Things Farm offers a rich, hands-on summer experience rooted in nature, creativity, and community.
