Round the Bend Farm (partnered with Elements Learning Collaborative) is offering a week-long Farm Camp that will take place on our beautiful, working farm in South Dartmouth, MA. Campers will participate in and learn about the farm systems, methods, and tools we use to tend our gardens and care for our animals. The week will include:
- Planting, watering and weeding in our vegetable gardens
- Harvesting and packing produce for our Manifest Love program
- Helping to feed and water our chickens, pigs, and goats
- Learning about our environmental philosophies and participating in actions that make positive impacts (materials we choose to use and reuse, composting toilets, cloth napkins…)
- Preparing a farm-to-table lunch in our commercial kitchen with ingredients that campers help to harvest
- Time to explore and learn about our natural surroundings
This camp is designed for campers aged 10-14 who enjoy spending time outdoors and don’t mind getting their hands dirty while helping to tend our gardens and take care of our animals.
Registration is not currently open but will be soon!

“Thank you for an amazing week. This was the best experience ever for Nikos and I know he’d love to be involved in the farm going forward in any way possible that is useful to you all. He learned so much and absolutely adored all of the experiences.”
“My child enjoyed it everyday and did not want it to end. I loved that she learned about garden(ing) and animal work.”
“I love the food truck and the mission-driven nature of the farm. It’s amazing to have the children engage in these nature-based activities that are also connected to the local community.”
“Absolutely recommend. In today’s culture, it is a great experience for children to be close to and appreciate nature…”
