At Belle Vie Farm camps, children enjoy outdoor adventures at a working farm with a mission to create authentic community through connection with nature. Our counselors focus on helping campers learn skills for connecting with new friends, maintaining friendships, creating with art and woodworking materials, developing self-confidence and trust in their own intuition and much more! Campers learn and practice these skills while adventuring on our 34-acre farm and forest and exploring our indoor Art and Maker Studio! From thrills on the 75-foot zipline, dirt slide, and climbing web to hands-on experiences with gardening, animal care, art, woodworking, and forest hiking, every day offers something new to discover. Campers take part in a wide variety of activities that highlight both farm life and creative expression. They might gather fresh eggs, plant microgreens, explore silvopastures, or care for goats and chickens before heading indoors to the art studio or makerspace. Creative projects like goat milk soap-making, beeswax candle-pouring, or cooking with fresh farm ingredients give campers a sense of pride in their work, while water play, forest exploration, and free time ensure plenty of fun and friendship. Each week also features special traditions that make Belle Vie unique, including hay rides, gem mining, ice cream or pickle making, archery, and forest play. _
