Already Registered for Camp

Farm Camp Open House  

We welcome you and any other family or friends considering farm camp to visit the farm for our Open House, Saturday May 2nd from 10 am – 3 pm– it’s a great opportunity to meet the family, staff, and animals while you tour the cabins and beautiful country setting.  

OPEN HOUSE RSVP

Registration process: a consolidated process that puts registration, payment and forms in one system!

Our system allows you to manage all aspects of your household account in one place.  ACCESS MY ACCOUNT

Packing for camp  

Our packing system uses three bags and a “roll” system, it sounds militant but is awesome for the children. Upon arrival, campers receive 5 fresh camp t-shirts–one to wear each day.  We collect them back on Mon-Thurs, but the Friday shirt is theirs to wear home, with signatures from all of their new camp friends.  

PACKING LIST

Drop off & Pick Up

Camp begins at 9:00am Monday and ends at 11:00am Friday with a ~30 min tour led by your camper.  Drop-off and Pick-up Procedure.  

Nearby Lodging, Restaurants and Hotels:

Within the town of Elizabeth, you can grab a coffee and sandwich at E-Town Coffee, or satisfy your sweet tooth with ice cream and cupcakes from Three Sisters Sweet Shoppe.  One of the Top 5 burgers in the state is at Small Town Saloon. 

Staying the weekend? Here’s a list of nearby lodging, eateries and things to do.
