With summer just around the corner, parents are on the hunt for enriching experiences that will captivate their children. Night Owl Farm is the perfect destination, offering engaging summer programs tailored for young explorers aged 3 to 9! Featuring a delightful mix of education, hands-on activities, exciting animal interactions, and free play, our programs ensure a summer brimming with fun and learning.

Our offerings include two age groups: Owlets for children aged 3-5 and Junior Farmers for those aged 6-9. Each program is thoughtfully crafted to cater to the unique developmental needs of every child, ensuring that all participants enjoy age-appropriate activities that spark curiosity and foster a deep appreciation for the natural world.

A standout feature of our programs is our exceptionally low 4:1 student-teacher ratio. Limiting class size allows our passionate educators to provide personalized attention, ensuring that each child feels valued and engaged. Parents can relax knowing their little ones are receiving the support and encouragement they need to flourish in a nurturing environment.

Education is at the heart of our programs, with a strong emphasis on sustainable farming practices, ecology, and animal care. Children will embark on exciting hands-on adventures, nature walks, and field tours, learning about the importance of biodiversity and the vital roles animals play in our ecosystem. From planting seeds to harvesting vegetables in their gardens, our young learners will connect with the earth and foster a stronger understanding of the world around them.

One of the most delightful aspects of our programs is the opportunity for direct animal interactions. Children will meet and care for our friendly goats and chickens, cultivating a sense of responsibility and empathy. These joyful experiences not only teach valuable lessons in animal care but also encourage teamwork and compassion as children work together to nurture our furry and feathered friends!

At Night Owl Farm, we are dedicated to creating a vibrant, educational environment where children can thrive. Our summer programs are not just about having fun; they are about inspiring a lifelong love of learning and nature. Join us this summer for an unforgettable adventure that will leave your child excited, curious, and ready to explore the world around them!

Night Owl Farm also offers CSAs, a seedling sale in May, and gardening workshops. More information, including registration for our summer programs, can be found on our website: www.nightowlfarm.org
