Summer Camp Working Farm Outdoor Learning

The kind of summer children remember—and the kind that prepares them for what comes next.

What if the best way to prepare children for school this fall isn’t more school?

What if the confidence, creativity, resilience, communication, and problem-solving skills that help children succeed in the classroom are developed by spending a summer caring for animals, building forts, running a real farm stand, harvesting vegetables, making friends, solving real problems, and exploring a world full of possibilities?

At Urban Green Harvest, we're bringing back the kind of summer many parents remember from their own childhoods—long days outdoors, meaningful work, endless adventure, and the freedom to follow curiosity. The difference is, today we understand something we didn't always recognize then: those experiences don't just create wonderful memories. They help children develop the very qualities that prepare them to thrive when school begins again.

Summer on the farm isn't a break from learning.

It's learning through living.

Real-Life Learning


Skills that last a lifetime.

The world children are growing up in requires more than academic knowledge. It calls for confidence, creativity, communication, problem-solving, adaptability, and the ability to work well with others. Through real experiences, meaningful responsibilities, and opportunities to make choices, children naturally develop these lifelong skills while doing what children do best—exploring, creating, contributing, and discovering what they're capable of.
