Little Peas Summer Camp
Summer 2024 update: no camps this summer!
We will be suspending Little PEAS camp for the 2024 season. Hope to bring them back next year! But our core programming with schools and visits to the farm is what we will focus on in 2024. Thanks for understanding!
Campers spend four days at the PEAS Farm in the beautiful Rattlesnake Valley learning about sustainable farming and our food system. Activities illustrate how people, plants, and animals come together to create a thriving farm community. Campers will explore life on a working farm, learn how food gets from the field to our plates, and about plant and animal life-cycles. They’ll also have fun outdoors playing games and splashing in Rattlesnake Creek. Campers will help plant, harvest, and (of course!) eat vegetables.
Who

Little PEAS Summer Camp Policies
Payment/Cancellations/Refund Policy
All camp registration fees must be made 30 days before camp begins to avoid forfeiting registration. Camp registration fees (minus a non-refundable $50 deposit) will be refunded for cancellations prior to 30 days before camp begins. Cancellations after this deadline forfeit the full camp registration fee.
Conduct
We have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to violence towards other campers or camp counselors. Campers who violate this policy will be immediately expelled from camp (parents will be requested to pick up the camper), and the camper will not be welcomed back. Camp fees will not be refunded.
