Terrace Foundation Urban Farm Camp

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Join us this summer at The Terrace Foundation Urban Farm for a once-a-week day in the gardens. Each day after our morning review and check-in we will get into our subject of the day, this will include an outdoor classroom-style lecture followed by a hands-on science lab experience. At lunchtime, we offer a highly nutritious meal consisting of a salad, soup, and entree using ingredients from the farm whenever possible. After lunch, students take part in an artistic project that ties into our subject of the day, encouraging a different perspective in a scientific world. Our intention is to provide a balanced experience that incorporates both a right-brained and left-brained experience; sharing scientific facts, getting hands dirty, building a relationship with nature, and expressing what was learned creatively.
