Teach and lead campers in one of two summer day camp programs each serving up to 40 children each week.  At the Woodvale Farm Day Camp, campers age 5-8 help out on the farm, work in the gardens, prepare food, participate in farm demonstrations, and go on hikes.  Counselors at this camp teach outdoor lessons in farming, sustainable agriculture, humane animal care, early American history, organic gardening, cultural history, and ecology. Children go on hikes, make crafts, and swim. The day starts at 8:00 am with chores and preparation for the campers. Campers arrive at 9:00 am and stay until 3:30 pm.  After the campers leave, there is a clean-up period and brief staff meeting.The workday ends at 4:30 pm.
