Summer Food Camps

Kids get to play with their food at Cultivate Hope Food Camps!

Every summer, we host camps at the Cultivate Hope Urban Farm, where kids get hands-on experience learning how produce is grown and how it turns into the meals and snacks they eat every day.

Join our 2024 Food Camps tailored for young adventurers aged 7-10!  Campers will delve into the basics, from learning the parts of a plant to different types of vegetables. They will also have hands-on experiences using produce from the farm to make and taste healthy snacks.

Enroll your child today in our 2024 Food Camps and let them discover the journey of food from farm to plate!
