All sessions meet Monday - Friday at Newton Community Farm, 303 Nahanton Street
Half Day Sessions: 8:30AM - 1:00PM
Full Day Sessions: 8:30AM - 4:00PM

Get dirty, have fun and be prepared to be amazed by what you uncover in our Little Diggers program. In each session, we will explore a farm-based theme to develop curiosity and foster a deeper connection with the natural world. Little Diggers will use their powers of observation and experimentation to explore insects, plants, tools and machines, our farm chickens as well as other feathered friends around the farm. Through hands-on projects in the learning garden, crafts, games and activities, campers will gain a deeper understanding of farm life and the world around them.
