Argyle Acres Farm Camp
Utah’s First Regenerative Farm Camp!
The goal of Argyle Acre’s Farm Camp
is to provide time for children to connect with nature and learn about the relationship between regenerative agriculture and the environment through developmentally appropriate experiential learning activities. Each Day, Monday through Thursday, Children are immersed in the daily rhythms of the farm by helping with farm chores, caring for animals, investigating insects, and interacting with the natural world. There are plenty of opportunities to learn about microbes, animal adaptations, life cycles, and plant ecology. We will explore the question, “how did that get to my plate?” and get to know our farmers. We will leave plenty of room to let children’s natural curiosity guide learning.
