Summer Camp Returns to Massaro Community Farm

Massaro Community Farm will again partner with the Town of Woodbridge Recreation Department to bring you Summer Camp at the Farm. This year’s camp sessions will run 9:00am-12:00 noon during the weeks of August 5th and August 12, with a fee of $130 per camper. 

The camp’s focus is based on the mission of Massaro Community Farm: Keep farming; Feed people; Build community. Campers will actively explore the farm’s 57 acres of woods, fields and wetlands, including 7.5 acres of crops in active production.

Campers participate in structured activities that encourage learning about nature, the daily operations of a working organic farm, healthy food and nutrition, and the interconnectedness of all living things. 

The farm camp incorporates our walking trail through the woods and wetlands of the farm, our Learning Garden, our honeybee apiary, a resident flock of ducks and chickens and our dairy barn (providing indoor space for rainy days). Each day’s activities will include stories, exploration of the farm and nature trail, natural crafts and a healthy snack.

Registration is now open for this year’s camp, and registration forms can be found on our website, www.massarofarm.org, or campers can call us at (203) 736-8618. Registration forms are also available through the Woodbridge Recreation Department. Space is limited and early registration is encouraged. A discount of $10 off per camper/session is offered to those who register on or before May 11, 2013.

Massaro Community Farm is a non-profit farm on a 57-acre parcel of land in Woodbridge, Connecticut, 15 minutes northwest of New Haven. Our mission is to keep farming, feed people, and build community. Our vision is to enhance the quality of life for our community for generations to come.
