Youth Summer Camp at

Light Root Farm & Learning Center

Our youth and teen  summer camp programs are designed to offer immersive learning experiences through weekly sessions themed around regenerative agriculture skills and practices.  Each weekly camp session explores regenerative agriculture topics that foster single skill based learning including, soil health and composting, sustainable gardening practices, organic methods for animal husbandry,  and harvesting crops and medicinal herbs. 

                 As a farm camp program offering single skill sessions in regenerative agriculture we are operating in compliance with the  CDEC's single-skill exemption for child care licensing.  Single-skill exemption is defined by CDEC as: A special school or class operated for a single skill-building purpose. A single-skill program includes the development of an individual skill which does not include naptime or overnight care.  Our day camp programs run from 9:00am-3:00pm and we do not offer nap time or overnight options.
