Foxglove Farm on Salt Spring Island annual day 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.
