Get a taste of the Irvin Learning Farm and discover what makes this place and this program so special. At this new environmental education camp, children and teachers of all ages and backgrounds can experience the outdoors and develop a lifelong commitment to stewardship of the land through a variety of activities, including exploring the pond to learn about water quality, caring for farm animals and creating sculptures and drawings from the landscape. Young and old are invited to meet the staff from this afterschool and summer camp program, and sample a few of the activities in store at the Irvin Learning Farm, including scavenger hunts and hayrides.
