Barnyard Summer Camp 2021
Sessions run weekly from 9Am - 3:00PM for children ages 7 - 12
Our Mission
Our Mission is to provide a rich environment for kids to learn, grow, and form bonds within their community. Children should have the chance to experience camp for what it truly is in these unpredictable times. Camp is fun, camp is weird, and camp gets you excited about the world around you. That is what you should expect from Sugars Bridge Farm camp, and that is what we will provide, guaranteed!
Activities Menu
The sample schedule below is to give a ballpark idea of some activities offered in a week.
Necessary Considerations
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’s individual swim needs will be met. Unless we are presented with proof of swimming ability from the parents or guardians, 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.
Coronavirus concerns are a top priority. Children will be socially distanced when possible, will be sanitizing hands multiple times a day, and mask usage will be required and constantly supervised.
