Our day farm camp for children ages 7-12 offers environmental literacy experiences through the exploration of a variety of habitats � by growing, harvesting, preparing and eating organic fruits and vegetables, feeding and caring for farm animals, and through nature-based art, using child-centered, fun activities.
Each day children will take part in farm chores such as collecting eggs, harvesting strawberries, digging potatoes, making compost, baking, cooking and eating from the farm. They will use art and journaling to express and enhance their experience.
Tracy Harrison has been a Registered Art Therapist and children�s instructor for over 20 years.

She facilitates an open art studio out of Phoenix Secondary School and is a regular participant in Salt Spring Island�s �Artist in the Classroom� program and offers out of her Creative Fire Art Studio on the island.
