2026 Farm Camp Program

Ages 5-12
9:00 am – 2:00 pm

Each week campers spend their days learning through many fun, interactive and hands on activities. No matter the weekly theme campers will get out and explore in our gardens, meeting our animals, craft, play games and more!

Week 1: Celebrate on The Farm → June 29 - July 3

Experience how farming families long ago celebrated the beginning of summer, good harvests and the 4th of July. The week is filled with crafting, hiking to the beach, early summer harvesting, eating and celebrating! Campers will make old time music, learn old time dance moves and play old time lawn games. Campers will even set up a mini farm stand with local products for their families to peruse for their own July 4th celebrations.

Week 2: Farm to Table → July 6 - July 10

Learn what it’s like to have the food on your table come from your backyard. Campers will create a Farm to Table experience for themselves: caring for and harvesting from the gardens to prepare their own food, learning how our resident farm animals can contribute to our meal, cutting their own herbs to flavor their food, and arranging their own bouquets to decorate their table. Campers will visit the root & potato cellars, the smokehouse and the Hallock Pond, where ice was harvested, to learn how to keep food fresh long ago! The week will end with our very own cooking contest! Campers will learn and experience the journey our food takes before it ends up in our bellies.

Week 3: Trades and Their Tools: → July 13 - July 17

Farm life requires working with a variety of tools and implements to ‘get the job done’. With the guidance of blacksmiths, woodworkers and weavers campers will engage and hone their hands-on skills and creativity in working with wood, fiber, and more. Our guest tradespeople, visits to our antique machinery and authentic cobbler shop exhibit, observing our quilt collection, harvesting potatoes to make their own potato chips and grinding feed for our resident animals will all inspire campers to learn to work with their hands and ‘get the job done’. To end the week, campers will take a ride around the farm on a more modern machine, a tractor pulled wagon!

Week 4: Farming by the Sea: → July 20- July 24

Campers will explore the 500 acres of fields, woods and beach surrounding Hallockville and discover the North Fork’s flora, fauna and marine life. Hiking to the beach to explore the local marine life, learning from marine experts, crafting with treasures from their beach hike, and harvesting from our gardens will fill their days with discovery and creativity. Explore the aquatic side of agriculture and learn that farming can happen in more places than expected.

Week 5: Wild by Nature: → July 27 - July 31

The Natural World is an intertwined web of relationships and campers will learn the importance of creatures around us. Guest beekeepers, birdiers, and master gardeners will share their passion with campers and give a close up look at fascinating and important insects, birds, and other wild animals that call Long Island home. Nature walks through the farm and to the beach, guided birding adventures, animal track hunts, close up observations of our own caterpillars and tastes of what pollinators so graciously provide for us will fill the campers’ week with discovery and sweetness!

Week 6: History Tells A Tale → August 3 - August 7

The history of the North Fork is abundant with stories from cultures including Native Americans, European settlers, and more recent immigrants from many other parts of the world. Campers tour our 1700s Homestead with a local historian, bake cookies in the authentic Homestead kitchen on the wood stove, hike where there was once a battle, visit a nearby dairy farm to experience farming traditions from long ago, collect rocks at the beach from thousands of years ago with a local geologist and plant the 3 sisters the way Natives taught the settlers.

Week 7: Build Me A Farm. → August 10- August 14

Ready, set, raise that barn! Step back to a time of many “outbuildings”- smoke house, outhouse, coops, pens, wash house, barn, workshop, garage, carriage house and of course the Homestead itself. Campers will use their visits to the many outbuildings, barns and homes on the farm to inspire their own building ideas. The animals and people who call these buildings home will show us the ins and outs of how they were made and what they were used for. Campers will tend the gardens in the yard of the Homestead and harvest from the kitchen garden to make their own pizzas with guidance from a local chef to feel right at home.
