Register here for Summer Camp 2020!
We are pleased to announce Wild Tribe’s camp program held at Sweetwater Organic Community Farm. Wild Tribe currently provides programming to children ages 7-11 throughout local counties in the Tampa Bay area. Their program has been designed with Florida’s Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS). At farm camp, campers will learn how to:
- Compost and maintain soil health
- Cook and preserve food
- Grow an organic garden from seed
- Identify numerous edible and medicinal plant species, native and non native
- Identify nutrients/chemicals in food
- Identify avian and aquatic species
- Make a biodegradable seed pot for sprouts
- Upcycle and create art with found objects
- Seed saving and storage
Campers will also have opportunities to take hikes, play games, interact with farm animals, sing songs, participate in a scavenger hunt, eat healthy foods and just be kids! Lessons cover benchmarks in Life and Earth sciences for grade 3-6. This is a great opportunity for campers to apply knowledge they will be learning in school the next year, or reinforce what they have learned from the year previous.
Camp programs are offered for 6 weeks starting June 15th to July 23rd. Campers can register for one week or more. Curriculum will vary week to week.
