FALL PROGRAMS

Join us on the farm this fall for a Halloween Journey like no other! As the sun sets, enjoy seasonal art, pumpkin decorating, lantern-making, and surprise characters while spending time with our beloved animals. Bring a costume, your festive spirit, and a vegetable to share for our community stew. Celebrate the sparkle of the season with an evening of enchantment, creativity, and heartwarming moments.

This seasonal, farm-based program for children in Kindergarten through 6th grade blends hands-on learning with nature and real farm work, using the seasons as our guide. Children care for animals, garden, explore earth science, create nature-inspired art, learn traditional handwork, and discover the rhythms of the changing seasons. Mixed-age groups encourage confidence, lasting friendships, and a deep love of learning in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Farmstand is Camp Shine’s homeschool entrepreneurship program for conscious young creators ages 8–15, where real-life business skills meet farm-fueled inspiration. From product creation to branding, marketing, and sales, kids run their own artisan booths and mini-festivals—learning through doing, not worksheets. Rooted in a win-win philosophy, Farmstand empowers kids to build businesses that are good for people, the planet, and their own growth. With mentorship, farm life, and a strong spirit of giving (including donations to local causes), Farmstand helps kids shine as leaders, changemakers, and joyful entrepreneurs.

The next evolution of Farm School, where students become confident leaders while developing practical life skills through meaningful experiences. CS Captains focuses on leadership, survival skills, homesteading, life science, teamwork, planning and executing farm projects, and serving the community. Through real responsibility, growing independence, and hands-on learning, we use the farm as our classroom to cultivate confidence, character, and skills that last a lifetime.
