What make THIS camp so special?
Our Junior Farmer Day Camp/Summer Program is an amazing farm experience for children providing opportunity for your children to experience the farm in all it's earthy & country goodness!
From real farm chores that include feeding the animals, collecting the eggs, grooming animals, to crafts, berrypicking in the strawberry or raspberry patch, learning farm skills and plenty of outdoor adventures... your child will love, love, love the hands on experience and activities we have planned. There's no camp we know of that offers such a wide range of experiences that are both fun and educational all at the same time.
Happy Trails: In 2021 we decided to take care of our transportation need ourselves and bought a 28 passenger Freightliner bus to transport campers safely on our day trips. Since we are still in the planning stages for 2022 activities - Day trips may include a trip to Birds Hill Park Ranch for some horseback riding, trips to local farms like a dairy or apiary where they sample honey or maybe even a waterpark or splash pad and they vary from week to week.
2022 Program Director: We are Happy to announce that Megan Owzarek will be returning to the farm to become our Spring/Summer Programs Director! Megan was a favorite Day Camp leader last year. This year she takes on the extra challenge of overseeing the School programs, Day Camps and visiting Child Care groups and managing our team of Day Camp Leaders.

Hello! My name is Megan Owzarek, and I am so excited to be the Program Director at Deer Meadow Farm this season! I am currently in the Faculty of Education at UofW with one more year to go, and I have worked in various positions at summer camps every year since 2015. Last year was my first year at the farm as one of the day camp leaders and I am thrilled to be back in a new role. I am passionate about getting kids outdoors in the summer for lots of fun and learning, and I look forward to meeting all the school groups and day campers who come to the farm. We are planning lots of fun activities this season and it is always a blast hanging out with all the animals. I look forward to meeting all of you!
