These Lexington Summer Camps offer a lighter schedule while still providing meaningful farm-based experiences.
Half-day camps are great for campers who don’t want to be on the farm all day. They also work well as a bridge week for kids who want a deeper dive into a specific topic.
These details apply to our full-day Lexington Summer Camps unless otherwise noted.
Full-day camps run Monday – Thursday 9 AM – 5 PM (the optional overnight for Session 1 includes an overnight on Thursday with pickup on Friday by 10 AM)
After Camp Hours 5PM – 6PM (kids help with late afternoon farming chores like egg collection, livestock feeding, equipment maintenance, and clean-up). An additional snack is provided. You must pre-register for after camp.
Camp includes two snacks and lunch. If your child has allergies or dietary restrictions, you will need to send their food.
The optional overnight for Session 1 includes dinner on Thursday and breakfast on Friday.
Camp runs rain or shine. Activities move indoors or under shelter when needed.
For session 1’s optional overnight, camping will be moved inside of the farmhouse should extreme conditions arise.
$355 per week

FARMcamp is in its fourth year! FARMcamp is supervised and managed by our camp director and The FARM 1780 co-owner – McKenzie Flashnick. Additionally, there will be agricultural instructors and assistants who will help with activities and lessons based on age groups.
Campers are organized into groups of 15–20. Each group has one lead counselor and one junior counselor.
We’ve worked with retired and current teachers to craft activities and curricula that engage children. Campers learn through hands-on, meaningful experiences.
All staff working on-site during summer camp have undergone a criminal background check.
Our owners, staff, and counselors are adult, child, and infant CPR and first-aid certified.
A full first-aid kit meeting OSHA safety guidelines is also kept on-site.
Session 1 has a strict cutoff related to their rising academic year. All campers MUST be age 6 (or more) at the time of their camp session. Any children under 6 are not permitted to participate.
Here is what we tell parents: you know your kids better than we do. You are welcome to sign them up for an older or younger session if you feel it’s the best fit.
Full Day camps are 9am – 5pm with an optional after camp (additional fee), which allows for pickup by 6pm. Half Day camp hours vary. Please see each camp‘s drop-off and pick-up hours for more information.
During the registration process, we will ask you to identify any other campers that you are requesting your child be grouped with. We will do everything possible to ensure this. However, groups are based on availability at the time of registration.
Each session will have a total of 30 – 40 campers. Campers will be organized into groups of 15-20 with (1) lead counselor and (1) junior counselor overseeing each group. There will also be guest teachers / additional staff based on activities. Camp also has a full-time director on-site.
We plan meals that balance kid-friendly foods with healthy, farm-fresh options.
Campers also help harvest, wash, and prep snacks and lunches. You’d be surprised what kids will try when they’re doing it together.
Our goal is to gently stretch comfort zones without letting anyone go hungry. If your child doesn’t like one item, we’ll offer more of another.
You’re also welcome to send your own food.
At registration, you will complete a health form with space to detail any dietary restrictions or allergies.
We work (within reason) to ensure kids with these restrictions can still enjoy farm food. However, if your child has dietary restrictions (other than nut allergies) you are responsible for sending your own snacks and foods. We will provide a full menu after registration closes and prior to camp so that you can make that decision.
During registration, you will complete a form to share any limitations. We work to ensure all campers can participate. Our staff is trained to support a variety of personalities and learning styles. If you think something may impact your child’s enjoyment, please call us before registering.
Please note: due to the structure of camp, we are not trained or licensed to offer special education services. If your child has a 504 or IEP, please contact us before registering so we can talk through fit and support.
Everyone working on-site during summer camp has undergone a criminal background check.
Owners, staff, and counselors are adult, child, and infant CPR and first-aid certified. Additionally, a full first-aid kit meeting OSHA safety guidelines is kept on-site. As part of registration, you will complete a full registration for your child, including a medical and medicine-dispensing questionnaire and form. The registration form also details all our safety and emergency precautions. However, if you are left with questions please give us a call to discuss.
Yes, please give us a call to discuss.
Certain activities and curriculum (like harvesting, washing, packing, you-pick, animal encounters, etc.) will be similar to previous years. However, we are adding new things to the curriculum and activities list. We also made some changes based on parent and camper feedback. We feel confident your camper will be just as excited and fulfilled by attending camp a second year in a row!
