We are beyond thrilled to be rolling into 6th year of Summer Programs at The Giggling Life Care Farm!
These are very hands-on programs and were designed for children from ages 18 months- 16 years** to completing everyday tasks on the farm, all while teaching them very important life skills!
**Tiny Tots programs are for ages 18 months- 3 years, with traditional farm camp programs splitting up between age groups 4-6 years, 7-11 years, and 12-16 years.
Farm Camp is a great way for children and adolescents to learn how to interact with one another, the animals, care for themselves and the animals, have discipline, kindness, respect, build trust, independence, relationships, patience, while empowering your child to find and nurture their passions, all through laughter, fun, farm animals, and the beauty of the outdoors.
All projects will be done outside in the pasture, while learning about how to properly interact with, take care of, exercise, groom, and love our ducks, chickens, dogs, rabbits, cats, ponies, miniature donkeys, a steer, horses, miniature sheep and YES, another new addition that will be joining us here!
We create a very safe place for children to work the earth and animals with their hands while healing the mind and body through agricultural and animal-based activities.
Every lesson that we have at The Giggling Life Care Farm includes lessons of gratitude, how to believe in yourself, and how powerful your mind is.
Activities include:
- Learning proper interaction skills with the animals
- How to properly feed, groom and exercise all animals
- How to clean animal stalls
- Relationship building and trust exercises with the animals
- Setting and achieving goals while working as a team
- Learning anatomy and other information about each of the animals
- Coaching exercises with animals on how to overcome obstacles, build confidence, trust, and patience
- Equine Spa Day
