Junior Counselors

“As someone who loves cooking, being able to see where my food comes from was really interesting. I wouldn’t change a thing about my experience this summer. We got the scientific, culinary, and agricultural view of farming, and I learned a lot.”

“My time here is the kind of memory that I will reflect on many times… I have absolutely grown as a teenager, someone who works with youth, and generally as a human.”

“This summer has been absolutely extraordinary. I feel so privileged to have been able to spend 5 weeks of my summer with such an amazing, inspiring group of people. I have loved every second. I have experienced immense personal growth this summer, and my leadership style has evolved and strengthened.”

“During Farm Camp, I have learned to be confident in my decisions.  I have also grown in public speaking. I think the greatest thing I have gained from this camp is my level of patience, time management, and the ability to connect with amazing kids.”

“This camp showed me what it may be like to be a teacher. How even the little things can be an impact on a child… Having a purpose to get up at 7 in the summertime and spend 8 hours with a bunch of children makes me feel like I am making a difference in the world, one step at a time.”
