Description

Lachat’s Summer Farmhands program is back and better than ever!  Join us for one week or the whole summer; our experienced group leaders have planned exciting activities with a different theme every week, specially tailored for each age group.  While specific activities will vary, every week will provide children with the opportunity to explore the farm’s vast property, get their hands dirty in the gardens, play with the animals, create works of art from natural materials, learn about the environment, and so much more.  This small program provides a high level of supervision and a child-led experience that allows kids the freedom to build independence and learn, while having fun in the great outdoors.  

Tiny Farmhands, designed just for preschool kids ages 3-5, will run June 19-23, 9am-1pm.  Please ensure your child is potty trained for this program!  

Little Farmhands will run the next 8 weeks, June 26-August 18, 9am-1pm, for kids ages 4-8.

Junior Farmhands, a special afternoon program for kids ages 8-12, will run the weeks of July 10, July 17, August 7, and Aug 14 from 2-5pm - please click here to register!

These programs sell out, so don’t delay in reserving your spots!  Please be sure to read Lachat’s Policies for Summer Farmhands before registering.
