New this year! Are you ready to dig deeper into all we do around Oxbow and discover how YOU can make a difference in your community? Grow alongside Oxbow farmers as we tend the Kids’ Farm crops and harvest and process organic produce for hungry customers. Go beyond the farm to learn the importance of local plants and animals, explore what it takes to restore natural habitats in the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley, and learn how to care for the land so it can support us all. Through fun workshops and opportunities to mentor younger 4-6 year old campers, you’ll have the chance to learn and lead while exploring your own passions! Our team offers guidance and support in a fun and inclusive setting as you take the next steps on your journey as a compassionate leader.

Throughout the week, campers will experience

  • Mentor younger campers, helping them to prepare farm fresh snacks, stay safe and have fun in the outdoors
