Autistic-Friendly Farm Summer Camp

​Hi Friends!

We will be hosting Summer Camp weekly throughout July. You will be able to sign your child(ren) for a week long experience of a farm life. We are so thrilled to be accepting so many new friends for camp. We will be taking on a limited number of children for each week to maximize fun for everyone, which is why there are multiple weeks that you can sign up for.

 

Camp Details:
 

Camp will begin at 8:00 am through 3:00 pm.
 

  • There will be a 30 minute lunch break along with two snack breaks (that you will need to provide).

  • Farm Summer Camp for Autistic Children – Horses, Animals & Hands-On Fun!

  • Welcome to Farm Summer Camp, a sensory-friendly, nature-filled retreat where autistic children can connect with animals, explore the outdoors, and enjoy hands-on farm fun—all at their own pace!
     

At our camp, kids can:
 

  • Befriend Gentle Horses – Brush, ride, and bond with patient, understanding horses.

  • Meet Friendly Sheep – Soft, fluffy, and always ready for a snack!

  • Collect Eggs from Chickens – Just watch out… they have big personalities!

  • Dig, Plant & Harvest – Grow veggies, feel the soil, and enjoy farm-to-table fun.

  • Explore Sensory-Friendly Gardening – Touch, smell, and experience nature up close.

  • Enjoy Calm & Predictable Activities – Structured routines, quiet spaces, and supportive staff make for a stress-free experience.
     

With plenty of space to move, quiet areas to relax, and a team that understands sensory needs, every camper can build confidence, make new friends (human and animal!), and create wonderful farm memories.

Join us for a summer of horses, farm animals, fresh air, and fun—just the way you like it!
