The Children’s Peace Garden offers full day and half day summer camps. The half day summer camps are appropriate for 4 - 6 year olds. The full day summer camp is appropriate for 6-10 year olds. The 2013 summer schedule is as follows.

New in 2013:

We are offering a full day camp for children ages 8-10. Green Thumb Detectives will be exploring the complex interactions of plants, animals and insects on an urban farm. See below for complete camp description.

We are also partnering with Mountain Flower Dairy to provide education on sustainable animal husbandry practices and small-scale goat dairy production. Each summer camp will get to visit the goats which are just a short walk away on the same property as the Children's Peace Garden. Depending upon the theme of the camp, we will be learning about and participating in goat husbandry, urban livestock management, nutrient cycling and healthy soils, milking and milk handling, raising goat kids and soap and cheese making
