Agricultural Education at Camp St. Croix
Camp St. Croix is excited to offer Agriculture Education options to public educators and homeschool families.
Ag Ed: School on the Farm
Bring your class to Camp St. Croix and spend the day on the farm! Through this new Ag Ed program offering at The Farm at Camp St. Croix, students will experience first-hand the day to day operations of a working farm. They will learn about crop physiology, explore the soil ecosystem, and learn the importance of regenerative farming and its impact on our local food supply. They’ll spend time getting their hands dirty while discovering the benefits that plants and animals have for us, as well as the health they bring to land. This is a one-day program offering-- either half or full day.
For more information, educational options within the day, and registration contact Camp St. Croix Farm Director, Anna, at anna.zimmer@ymcamn.org or call her at 651-739-6599.
Ag Ed: Homeschool on the Farm
Come spend the day on the Farm at Camp St. Croix! This is a four-part cumulative ag ed series which happens both in the fall and spring. This progressive series teaches homeschool students’ info that builds with each session—providing a wholistic agriculture education that changes with the season.
Students will have the opportunity to explore the high tunnel, wander through the Discovery Garden, and work with egg-laying hens. Learning through the hands-on study session, and experiencing real work on the farm, students will make meaningful connections between the food they eat and the land where it grows. Making these connections will help develop these young leaders into responsible stewards of the land.
Sign up for one or all the sessions in this series! Each session is designed to be either stand-alone or part of the entire season series.
Spring 2023 Dates:
- April 14th
