Alpaca & Nature Day Camp

Alpaca & Nature Day Camp A camp for children ages 9 - 16. Campers learn about alpacas, to spin on a wheel, to weave & discover the outdoors including Sycamore Creek. Great Fun!

We are closed until further notice - DUE TO THE PANDEMIC This is a unique camp. We get the campers out among our herd of huacaya alpacas, where they learn to care for them, and halter train them. We teach campers to spin alpaca fiber on a spinning wheel, to weave on various looms, about the nature on the farm and so much more. Alpaca & Nature Day-Camp attracts campers from as far away as Colorad

o and Tennessee. We provide a variety of sessions that are tailored to the participants. Many of our campers return year after year. Sessions are for 10 campers + a CIT ( counselor in training). Two adult counselors, Catherine and Carol spend the summer helping campers learn, design and create. Our camp is non-electronic. We put emphasis on observation, exploration and fun.

Bowie ,Phebe and I walked down to the creek trail. As usual it was comforting to be walking this familiar path. As I walked along the trail I thought about how many campers I had taught about walking in the woods, the silent game, showed them the fossil bed.. We watch the insects, the turtles, birds and crawdads. All campers learned how to skip rocks and how to identify poison ivy. We talked about the plants and the reason we leave fallen trees where they fall.
Many of my campers are now in college and many have graduated.
I am no longer having camps but I will at times work with young weavers . I would love to hear from the past campers.

We have been cleaning the cottage, it seems to have missed all of us being there this summer. I look around and I can hear the voices of all the summers of campers. This has always been a happy place. Funny how a thrum left behind can bring up the a conversation from the past. How about a round of Speed Round Trivia! Indeed they were MAGIC MOMENTS in our little red cottage. I would love to hear from the campers that have made this farm so wonderful.
