Chickens on the Farm Camp!

Whew! Last week the Prairie Crossing Learning Farm had our first Chickens on the Farm Camp! A great group of 8-10 year old students spent some quality time with the lovely Learning Farm hens.

During the one week camp the children learned about chickens, fed them, collected eggs, did chicken-related crafts, and more. The hens received a lot of attention last week!

Sound interesting? All of our children's Farm Camp programs involve collecting eggs and interacting with the chickens. Young farmers also dig in the soil, care for plants, harvest crops, and even prepare their own snacks during some camp sessions.

The Learning Farm has some spaces in the following Farm Camps:
