Cedar Hill Farm Summer Camp 2024

We are excited about this new tradition at Cedar Hill Farm. Our staff will consist of teachers and seasoned Cedar Hill Farm staff members with years of experience in agricultural education and entertainment. Camp is for kids going into 5K – entering 5th grade.  They can be 4 if they are starting 5K this coming August. They need to be potty trained and not have any severe medical conditions.

We will be dividing the children up based on age into 5 groups: going into 5K Yellow, going into 1st grade Orange, going into 2nd grade Green, going into 3rd grade Blue, and going into 4th or 5th grade Purple.  The camper-to-staff ratio will be around a 5:1 average, with a higher average for the younger campers than with the older campers.  We will have experienced teachers and teaching assistants supervising the campers.  They will all be together for a lot of the day so please try and help us keep them in their appropriate age group because certain activities are geared for their ages.

THINGS TO KNOW

If you need to arrange a one-time early drop-off, a late pick-up or add food for a single day please come into the gift store and pay that day.

Each camper will be provided with a camp t-shirt in the color of their age group.  We ask that they wear this shirt or a shirt in the same color each day of camp.  They should also wear closed-toed shoes, no flip-flops or sandals except for on Friday.  If it rains a lot the day before or looks like rain that day boots and a raincoat would be appropriate.  We will have alternative plans under our barns in case of foul weather but appropriate clothing for outdoor activities should be considered for each day as they may have to walk between barns in the rain.  We will have activities each day after lunch for a cool-off and rest period out of the sun.  A hat and sunscreen are recommended for sunny days.  Please send a refillable water bottle and a backpack with a change of clothes with your child each day just in case of an accident of any kind.  Please put their name on all of their items.

Each camper will need to be signed in and out each day, please do not drop them off and leave without signing them in.  If a different person is picking your child up then dropped them off, please let our staff know that when you are dropping them off that morning or call the office at 662-429-2540.

Please fill out one form for each camper you would like to register. Also if you are signing up for multiple weeks please be sure to fill out a separate registration form for each week.  Payments are nonrefundable and due upon the time of booking.
