Camp Maple Session Tickets
WHO: Camp Maple is open to children ages 3 and up. All projects are designed to be completed by younger children as well as older children with the understanding that older children might take more time and intent in the completion of their projects. All campers are required to be accompanied by an adult for the entire session. You are invited to enroll for one session, multiple sessions or all sessions.
WHAT: Led by Counselor Emily Putnam, Camp Maple is a chance for kids to experience crafting and nature all in one. We believe that craft projects should be created as a child sees it not how we want them to complete a project. With that in mind, our projects are designed to allow a child’s creativity to be the main focus. We will include all of the materials, an example, some guidance and then encouragement. Our hope is it will be a chance for you to take time with a child in your life to slow down and enjoy some time using your hands and being in nature.
WHERE: Camp Maple Nature Camp is being held at The Sugarhouse at Finding Home Farms, located at 140 Eatontown Road, Middletown, NY.
WHEN: Camp is being held on six Fridays this summer starting at 10 am and will finish about 11:30.
To allow us to properly plan and prepare for our camp, all session purchases are non-refundable.
