Winter Mini-Camp

Join us this winter for a mini camp inspired by our current exhibit, Farm Life: A Century of Change for Farm Families and Their Neighbors! Your child will explore life on a farm and discover its many challenges and rewards. They will also learn about the food we eat and develop an appreciation for farmers and their important contributions. Each day has a different farming focus!

Through fun-filled lessons and activities, your child will learn about farm animals, farm chores, farm history, and try their hand at farm life skills.
