Empowering Youth From Farm To Table
Join us in nurturing a love for nature and healthy living through hands-on experiences at the Educational Farm.
Our Mission and Vision
The Cornucopia Project is dedicated to fostering a connection between children and the natural world through gardening and healthy eating. For 20 years we have partnered with schools and organizations to bring farm-to-table learning to life and education to the outdoors. Our goal is to inspire a lifelong appreciation for sustainable living, community connection, and nutritious food by engaging young minds in the wonders of nature. Through our programs, children gain a deeper understanding of where their food comes from and the importance of community and environmental stewardship. All we do is rooted in joy and curiosity.
What to Expect this Summer
Farm Life
Each day begins with immersive experiences on our educational farm. Young Farmers learn essential organic farming techniques, including seeding, transplanting, and harvesting, while working alongside experienced student farmers.
Culinary Adventures
As lunchtime approaches, campers harvest fresh produce to create delicious snacks or meals. On Thursdays, they collaborate to prepare a farm-to-table feast in our outdoor kitchen, using locally sourced ingredients.
Creative Projects
Afternoons are filled with exciting nature-based art projects. Campers cool off while crafting botanical soaps, garden chia pets, and pressed flower lanterns, fostering creativity and environmental awareness.

Scholarships are available on a no-questions-asked basis. Simply select the scholarship option that best suits your needs during the online registration process. We believe in making our camp accessible to all families.
What happens if the weather is bad?

Are there accommodations for special needs?
Yes, we accommodate all children. Please contact us with any specific information or requests, and we will all we can to ensure an excellet experience for your child.
