Hallockville’s Summer Camp
Connecting children to the land, the community and their creative spirits
Hallockville is looking forward to a safe & fun-filled camp experience.
Our 28 acre site provides the ideal setting for your child to enjoy the outdoors this summer.
Hallockville Museum Farm offers a unique day camp experience for ages 5-12 unlike anything else on the East End.
Hallockville’s inspirational setting will surround campers with 250 years of agricultural history! Situated in Riverhead, the camp is convenient to the Hamptons/South Fork, the North Fork, Mattituck, Southold, Greenport, Shelter Island and Wading River.
Daily activities at Hallockville’s Farm Camp include circle time with songs and stories; interactions with farm animals including cows, sheep and chickens; farhores; feeding the animals and theme time projects and activities.
RECEIPTS AND REMINISCENCES
Remembering Estelle Evans
When Estelle Evans passed away on December 21, 2020 one day short of her 103rd birthday, Hallockville lost a founding member, creator of the museum’s woodstove cooking program, and a long-time friend. She was the primary author of “Receipts and Reminiscences of the Hallock Family and Friends,” a heritage cookbook still sold in the museum’s gift shop. Most memorably, she brought the tradition of baking molasses cookies to Hallockville. Born on her grandparents’ farm on Sound Avenue on Dec. 22, 1917, Estelle was a valuable consultant on questions about local history or long-forgotten recipes throughout her long life.
