We are thrilled to be offering 8 weeks of summer camp for ages 5-11 at Frinklepod this season!

Camp sessions are 4 days long (Tuesday - Friday, 9-3) and include activities around gardening, cooking, wildcrafting and art, and movement, as well as free play time. Each week also features its own unique theme which helps guide some of our daily activities. Each theme has a lot of “wiggle room” for kids who may not think they are interested in that particular topic to be able to go in their own creative direction!

Flora Brown, camp director & counselor

Farmer Flora founded Frinklepod Farm in 2012 with her partner, Noah, with the dream of growing amazing food while also growing and cultivating a sense of community with educational and social gatherings. A homeschooling mom of a teen and a tween, she has also taught in a variety of school, afterschool and camp settings. Flora loves providing space for lively conversations, thrives on creating moments of joy and curiosity for all ages, and relishes the opportunities when people (maybe the whole group?) can try something new. In her off-farm time, she loves live music, swimming in nature, libraries, and playing with food and flowers.
