Demo Farm!

“What you see is how you view the world.
To most people dirt is just dirt.
To a farmer it’s
Potential!”
That is what the Demo Farm program is all about. We are giving our campers the opportunity to see more than just what meets the eye. We are teaching them how loving the animals are and how plants are more than just pretty decoration, but they are also used in the foods we eat. It is truly amazing to watch and participate in demo farm rotations.

Today during morning rotations campers got to meet Lizzie the donkey, Elsa the rabbit, our chickens, the goats and our mini horse Sebastian. They loved learning all their names and about their families, while getting to pet and feed them. I love getting to watch their reactions to all the animals. It is love at first sight!

Demo Farm fun didn’t stop with morning rotations, this afternoon campers had the choice to go to Demo Farm as a free-choice activity. This afternoons activity was a Garden project. In addition to taking care of the animals our program staff, Sarah Shaner also helps take care of ASCCA’s garden.

Today’s project was making fresh from the garden SALSA! YUM!!!
Everyone got their own bowl and fresh ingredients.After adding all the indredients each camper took their bowl to Sarah to be blended together.

After making their fresh salsa we had a fiesta and enjoyed our creation!

As Always it is a GREAT day here at Camp ASCCA!
