Yes, great food is a big part of camp, but the goal isn’t necessarily for kids to become just more adventuresome eaters, or even to become farmers and chefs (although that would be great). Nature’s Farm Camp is set up intentionally as an environment for kids to flourish.
Nature’s Farm Camp exists:
Because the standard American diet causes lots of damage – often, we get in the habit of consuming calories that can barely be defined as food.
We aim to develop healthy relationships with food, and support nutrient rich food from regenerative organic agriculture.
OUR AIM
To offer an environment filled with great food and outdoor beauty with caring, non-judgemental adults who specialize in safety and fun.
For campers to flourish- becoming competent, confident and resilient problem solvers who learn through doing.
OUR STORY
A brief history of the Camp
Nature’s Farm Camp grew out Elena Marre and Tim Magner’s experience working together with The Kids’ Table and Truck Farm Chicago. It was, and is, about their desire to get kids out of the city and connected to awesomeness (and everything that sustains us). Elena and The Kids’ Table ran the cooking portion of the camp for the first two years and we will forever be thankful. Today, Elena is focused on The Kids’ Table (and their amazing summer camp in Chicago).
We joined Angelic Organics Learning Center in 2018. The place is amazing!
