Farm to Table Camp

Farm to Table Campers at Woodson Branch will experience the magic of harvesting and cooking their own food! We will learn about the science of agriculture, the art of cooking, and the joy of eating fresh, local food. We'll spend our days working in the garden, harvesting vegetables and fruits, and learning how to cook them into delicious meals. At the end of the week, campers will have a whole new appreciation of where food comes from, and be able to cook up a storm in your own kitchen!
