Session Descriptions

1st and 2nd Full Session Camp

Horse care in the corral

Our two full session camps provide an amazing three and a half weeks of incredible fun and personal growth. Campers engage in farm chores throughout their time at camp, and learn the beauty of working together to achieve a common goal.  We also offer a wealth of traditional camp activities which campers choose from each day.  From  bare-back horse riding, swimming in our lake and pool, engaging in a wide variety of arts and crafts,dancing at our weekly barn dances, to hiking in some of the most spectacularly beautiful places in the world--your camper will have the time of their life! Throughout the session, campers learn the joys of living in a tight knit community and build strong bonds of friendship with other campers and our fantastic counselors.  This program has provided life changing experience for generations of campers. Learn more about this wonderful program here.

Mini-Camp

Our Mini-Camp provides younger and first time campers an opportunity to experience the magic of Plantation Farm Camp for a shorter period of time.  The program is designed to let children get a sense of what fun being part of our camp community can be, and to get comfortable with being away from home.  Campers will get to participate in many of the choice-based activities that we offer at our Full Session Camps, as well as engaging in more structured, developmentally appropriate activities that we have designed.  You can learn more about this exciting new program.

Camper in Leadership Training (CILT) Program

Our Camper in Leadership Training program is designed for teenaged campers ages 15 to 17. During the session, CILT campers will live in an independent unit with their counselors, and engage in a number of exciting activities that build the skills and strength it takes to be leaders. The program is by application only, which is due February 1. The program is held during First Session only. Please contact us for more information.

Family Camp

Our Family Camps provide a wonderful opportunity for you and your family to engage in the joys of camp together!  You will all get to choose what chores you want to investigate and participate in twice daily, as well as choosing from a wide variety of our regular camp activities.  Children and their parents can go on activities together, or can explore separately then come together later and share what fun you have had.  We will all share meals together, have one of our fabulous barn dances, and have a terrific time enjoying the Plantation Farm Camp magic.  To learn more about our Family Camp, go here.
