Summer Fun at the Farm
Camp is for ages 6-12 yrs.
*Note: Week 6 and Week 7 campers must be ages 8 - 12 yrs.
Our Mission is to provide a rich environment for kids to learn, grow, and form bonds within their community.
Enroll your camper today for summer fun outdoors! Some of our weekly sessions are themed, meaning we will focus on sports (for example) while still having time devoted to interaction with our animals, free time swimming, fishing, boating and more.
Camp sessions run weekly Monday - Friday from 9-3 pm. Max 30 - 35 campers per week.
Email Sharlene at Sugarsbridgefarm@gmail.com call Sharlene 610-203-4141 if you have questions or problems registering your child for camp.

Camp Activities Menu
Below is our list of classic camp activities. This summer is going to be one for the books!
The sample schedule below is to give a ballpark idea of some activities offered in a week.
Necessary Considerations
• Campers must must pack a lunch, snack, and waterbottle.
• Regarding peanuts and tree-nuts, we are not a nut free camp. However, we are a nut aware camp that will take special precautions for children with nut allergies.
• This camp is technology free. Counselors will not be using phones either! Counselors will be taking photos of campers each day and providing access to these photos at the end of each week.
• All children will need to pass a swim test to swim. This will consist of jumping into the deep end, swimming a full lap of the pool, and treading water for one minute directly after the full lap. Please tell your children this is to access their swimming abilities for their safety.
