2026 Summer Programs

Young Farmers Camp: July 13-17th 9am-1pm

Registration is open! $380 (Ages 7+)
Does your child love caring for animals? Digging around in the soil? Harvesting berries? Preparing delicious treats from abundant gardens? Making natural remedies with herbs? Adorning salads with edible flowers? Sipping herbal iced tea while dipping their toes in a cool, spring fed creek? If so, then they will be a perfect fit for our Young Farmers Camp! We are only accepting 7 students so that they each get a personalized and productive experience. 

Children should wear sturdy shoes that can get wet (like Keens), and bring a backpack with water bottle, lunch and a sun hat. All children are required to have sunscreen applied BEFORE arriving at camp.

Wild Archer Nature Camp

Session 1: Aug 3-7th 9am-1pm

Join Sharon and Yarrow for forest, garden, animal and archery adventures on our 7-acre forest farm in SE Portland! Days will be filled with a wide variety of activities including forest games, plant foraging, wildcrafting and learning farm skills. There will be water play, fruit and flower picking, garden dance parties and music making. 

Each child will participate in daily archery and target practice with their own handmade targets and learn how to assemble and disassemble bows and arrows. 

Coming prepared: Please send your child with a backpack that comfortably fits their water bottle, a hearty lunch and a sunhat or baseball cap. We ask that parents apply sunscreen each morning BEFORE your child arrives at the farm. Also, plan to send your child in sturdy shoes that can get wet, as well as in lightweight clothing (pants are better than shorts for forest play) that will dry quickly. They may wade and splash in our shallow pond during free time in order to keep cool. Please do NOT send your child in flip flops, crocs or slides as they do not provide enough support for exploring the farm.

We will have simple snacks available, such as seeds, carrot & celery sticks and/or sliced fruit.

**We offer need-based scholarships to all Jean’s Farm programming. If you or the communities you serve face systemic barriers to fair access to financial resources, please contact us in order to renegotiate fees for service.
