Mary's Land Farm Summer Camps are an exciting way to light up any young person’s summer. They provide unique, hands-dirty opportunities for learning, growth, and fun - all at their working farm on 160 acres in Howard County, Maryland.   Campers spend their week immersed in the natural world, becoming stewards of the environment. Each camp week is loaded with creative, enriching activities led by skilled environmental educators. Campers milk the goat, care for the chickens, hike the wild lands, explore creeks, get crafty with wool and nature, tend and harvest the organic gardens, make farm fresh food, learn about plant and animal ecosystems, and more.   This engaging experience will spark a life-long appreciation of the outdoors in your child, and help them explore how people and the environment are all connected. In its third year, Mary Land Farm's 2020 Summer Camp program is for four age groups.    Sprouts (Age 4-6) Farming from a smaller person’s perspective. Campers participate in farm life through their senses, holding animals, digging in the dirt, and asking questions. Camp staff oversee petting the animals, collecting eggs, handling chicks, learning about bugs and insects, tasting the veggies in the garden, creating art projects, and listening to stories.    Farm Pals (Age 7-10) Experience all facets of farm life with age-appropriate opportunities. Participate in farm chores from grooming the ponies to feeding the chickens. At Mary's Land, they encourage connection with the land and the animals, and provide daily experiences that increase campers' farming knowledge through hands-on, experiential learning.     Junior Farmers (Age 11-14) Daily farm life is an adventure in of itself to this crew! The perfect fit for active early teens. Farm experiences allow campers to learn about biology and agriculture, horticulture and husbandry through daily electives and experiences. Skills are developed that benefit children all year long, instilling confidence as they learn all about cooperative farming and working together.     Teen (Age 15-18) The most immersive farm experience. Campers will participate in morning electives each day, then put permaculture agricultural principles to work in the afternoon. Along with their team leader, they will work alongside farm hands to get a true insider’s look at farming, build relationships and discover new strengths and interests as evidenced in the farm surroundings.   In each age group, campers will choose a Morning Elective designed for fun and learning. Electives include: Wilderness Survival Soil and Water Conservation Horse Care Personal Fitness Raising Chickens for Meat Or Eggs Farm Machinery Nature Exploration and Preservation Insect Studying Fruit to Food Children’s Theater Farm to Food Woodwork First Aid Wood Carving Afternoon activities include active games as well as board games or other leisurely activities, based on each camper's preference.

Camp provides an immersive environment where young girls are required to foster and develop their sense of independence, confidence, teamwork, and conflict resolution. My 5-year old daughter has already heard the legends, songs, and traditions of Camp Netimus, and I can't wait until she's old enough to experience it for herself. -- Amy F.
