SUMMARY:Little Brook Farm Camp
DESCRIPTION:Little Brook Farm Camp is a children’s educational program that takes place on a small family farm in Sunderland. The farm owner and camp director is a DOE certified educator and Registered Nurse. Children at camp will have the opportunity to learn about livestock and sustainable agriculture. Campers start each day by helping with morning chores\, such as collecting eggs and feeding the animals. Children learn how to interact and relate to the animals\, developing trust and their own self confidence. The April week is baby week. The sheep will be done lambing\, the goats will be kidding\, and we usually get baby chicks and pigs during that week. Our day runs from 9 AM to 3 PM. Campers are ages 6 – 12. Camp fees are $250/week.  We are offering a discount to CISA members this year for the February and April camp weeks of $20 off  per child per week. Call Kristen Whittle at 413-665-3802 or visit us online. Registration form available online or by email.
