As schools wrap up their academic year, many children are eager to dive into exciting summer activities. One such opportunity is the revitalized farm camp hosted by High On A Hill Dairy Goats in Kellyville. This program offers youngsters a unique chance to immerse themselves in rural living while interacting with diverse livestock in a secure setting. Owner Leah Chatron highlights that this initiative bridges the gap between urban lifestyles and agricultural experiences.

This interactive and instructional retreat caters to young enthusiasts who cherish animals and nature. Participants engage in various recreational pursuits, including playful games, artistic endeavors, angling adventures, equestrian excursions, and hands-on lessons about caring for goats and other creatures. These sessions run during specific weeks in June, allowing ample opportunities for enrollment. Morning programs last from 8:30 AM until noon each day, ensuring a well-structured yet enjoyable experience.

Accessible to children aged four through fourteen, this drop-off camp emphasizes safety and fun. Attendees must prepare accordingly with hydration supplies, meals, protective footwear, and attire suitable for outdoor work. Enrollment involves a manageable fee structure designed to accommodate families. By fostering an appreciation for farming traditions, these camps inspire future generations to embrace sustainable practices and connect with their natural surroundings.
