WOODSTOCK—This February, children ages 8-11 can immerse themselves in the wonders of winter farm life at Billings Farm & Museum’s Winter Wonders Farm Camp, running Feb. 19-21 (students are off school for winter break in most local schools), from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The three-day camp offers a unique blend of hands-on farm activities, outdoor exploration, and creative projects designed to engage young learners in the rhythm of a working dairy farm during winter. Campers will experience animal care, including collecting eggs, feeding cows, learning about horse gear, and discovering how wool from Billings Farm’s Southdown sheep is used.
In the Learning Kitchen, children will make homemade bread, jam, and mac and cheese using Billings Farm cheese. The program also includes seasonal crafts, such as homemade crayons and wool projects, and plenty of outdoor fun, including a guided hike in the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park and winter charades.
The final day of camp, “Festive Friday PJ Day,” invites campers to wear pajamas while making old-fashioned popcorn on a wood stove before enjoying a movie in the Visitor Center Theater.
