Every day, campers enjoy farm-based activities that align with our environmental education mission.

Campers will go home each afternoon with stories about their new barnyard and camp buddies!

On the Farm
Each day, our junior farmers learn about where food comes from—both plants and livestock—by participating in activities as varied as composting, planting, harvesting, and preparing soil for crops.

They get to know the most important members of our farm team—pigs, sheep, and goats—by caring for the animals and learning about animal life on our working CSA farm.

In the Kitchen
Because great farming translates into fantastic food, our junior chefs learn about healthy, farm-fresh ingredients while preparing delicious recipes each day in Powisset’s fully equipped teaching kitchen or at our unique outdoor kitchen.

Note: campers still bring their own lunch to camp every day.

In the Woods
Junior forester days focus on exploring our natural world.

Younger campers visit Powisset’s extensive nature trails, while older campers may explore neighboring Noanet Woodlands, where they hike the hills and trails and discover the wonders of woodland flora and fauna.

Farmer, Forester, Chef!

Camp is designed for campers who love the outdoors, caring for farm animals, cooking in the kitchen, getting their hands dirty, connecting to the land, using their imagination, and tapping into their resilience, no matter the weather.

A team of talented, compassionate, and energetic educators support campers in their quest to connect to the natural world and find their place within it.

NEW! Teen Farm & Forest Stewards
Join us for our brand-new program designed especially for young teens who are passionate about the outdoors, animals, farming, cooking, and taking care of the land they live on.

Working directly with Powisset’s rangers, stewards, chefs, livestock caretakers, and resident specialists, activities include extended hikes at Noanet Woodlands, learning beginner carpentry and beekeeping skills, working with our livestock, and lighting up our outdoor pizza oven!

Farm & Forest Stewards is the perfect opportunity for former Farmer, Forester, Chef!

campers and new Powisset friends to explore, build skills, and take on fun new challenges in a supportive, collaborative environment.
