Thoughtful entrepreneurship
Big news at the Farmstand!
We’re taking things to the next level — and we’re doing it with family power and entrepreneurial magic!
We’re thrilled to announce a special new partnership with Andrea Telfer Karbo (aka Stephanie’s amazing sister!) — founder of The Remedy, a thriving functional medicine and wellness center.
Andrea is a born entrepreneur. From launching a wildly successful swim school in college (teaching 200+ kids each summer!) to building her own integrative health practice and wellness center, she brings passion, purpose, and powerhouse experience to everything she touches.
Since 2018, Andrea has been helping people heal at the root level through her functional medicine clinic, and now she’s teaming up with us to inspire the next generation of makers, growers, and creators at our farmstand.
🌟 What This Means for Your Kids:
- Mentorship from both Andrea & Stephanie — two women who’ve built successful, heart-centered businesses from the ground up.
- Real-world entrepreneurship skills rooted in creativity, wellness, a win-win philosophy and community.
- A chance for your child’s product (jams, crafts, herbal goods, etc—you name it!) to be featured and sold at The Remedy!
That’s right — your young creator could see their work on real shelves, in a real store, serving real people.
🍓 Let’s Grow Something Big
This is more than just a farmstand. It’s a launchpad for young entrepreneurs, a place to dream big, build boldly, and connect with purpose.

CAMP SHINEFARMSTAND
Camp Shine Farmstand is an exciting offering for conscious young homeschool entrepreneurs ages 8 to 15.
Let’s change the world!
We think there is no better learning than hands-on real life experiences! Hypothetically, learning is not nearly as fun as the real thing! Our children don’t want to calculate how many apples Sally sold at the market – they want to sell the apples, give the right change and run the market! They want to do things that matter! The Farmstand program allows them to do just that!
How Farmstand Works
Your Child Builds Their Own Business—Start to Finish
They’ll dream it, design it, and bring it to life—creating their own small business from scratch. Alongside their peers, they’ll also collaborate on a shared artisan booth and help plan and run our festive Holiday Boutique on the Farm.
In this program the children bring to life an artisan booth and run/create a mini festival at Camp Shine, involved in every step along the way from product creation, branding, pricing, marketing, selling and more! With each session, the program evolves, changes and grows. Whether this is your first time in the program or the 4th, we are always growing and evolving!
Creating Conscious Entrepreneurs
Win-win model
Conscious entrepreneurship is the key to creating a world that is healthy, thriving and abundant for all! When people choose to create businesses based on a win/win model – meaning it’s as good for the seller as it is for the consumer as it is for the environment – our whole planet will be a happier and healthier place!
We are so eager for the next generation of business owners, and we are excited to provide them with the foundation of what it takes to run their own businesses early (and right now)!
Your child will receive their MBA “Mastering Business Ambassadors” and discover immediately the power they possess to be a positive influence in our world!
The Gift of Giving
Ongoing donations to local charities
In each Farmstand, as a group we decide what local charity will receive our proceeds. To date we have donated $5,000 to local charities! The children have a sense of pride as they work toward making a difference in our world. They learn it is never too early to make positive change!
Farm life weaved throughout
It’s Camp Shine, so, of course, farm life is included in this program! While your children learn and participate in running a business and creating the booth and festival, they will also be tending to the animals and the garden and enjoying the farm experience.

- The financial element of running a business.
- What does it mean to be a conscious entrepreneur?
- What is a win/win business model?
- Branding and messaging of our products and booth
- Marketing and advertising

HOW DO I KNOWIS MY CHILD READY?
If this sounds like your child, they are likely ready for Camp Shine Farmstand:
- Your child loves selling things - lemonade stands, making jewelry to sell to loved ones or coming up with a business-this is the program for them!
- Your child is excited about a larger goal and is okay with creating things that work toward our goal of curating a booth and creating a mini festival. This program requires some patience.
- Your child is ok with delayed gratification. This program is 3 months long.
- Your child would enjoy learning (kid-friendly) business concepts.
- Your child is old enough to really enjoy the common goal!
If you’re not sure, ask us!
If the above doesn't sound like a great fit, your child would likely love the Camp Shine Homeschool that focuses on seasonal learning on the farm. Also, in that program kids get to take home fun projects and art to keep! You can check out that program HERE.
MUST READ POLICIES IF USING:CHARTER FUNDSWe know it can be confusing to use your funds for the first time!
How to Enroll in Camp SHINE:
(using Charter Funds)
- First check in with your charter/teacher to make sure you have funds. Contact your teacher and let them know you’d like to enroll with us and indicate what session. Ask if you have adequate funding or if you are short. If you are short, we can bill the difference to you if you would like. We are vendors with Compass, Vista Oaks, Heartwood and Visions. We also have had families receive reimbursement from Valley View.
- Next, enroll your child on our site by entering your information and selecting the program you wish to enroll in, using the coupon code CHARTERFUNDS! (case sensitive) Your child is not officially in the program until they are registered with us even if you requested and received a voucher. The only way we know about you is if you register with us.
- After registering, you will automatically receive a confirmation welcome email that will provide all the details you need for camp. If you don’t receive an email from us (first check your junk mail) please contact us at hello@campshine.com.
- Then, immediately contact your charter school and request a voucher for the program. This must be done within a week of signing up with us. This ensures your funds are available and secure for your tuition with us.
- We then bill on your behalf. Should we have a billing issue or discrepancy in funds we will notify you.
That’s it! Your child is then officially registered using Charter Funds! It’s much easier than it sounds!
Important notes:
(when using Charter Funds)
- Some of our classes may be held on school holidays for your charter (each charter has their own holidays and it’s therefore difficult to accommodate everyone). If this is the case, you are personally responsible for covering tuition for that day that the charter will not fund.
- The parent or guardian is ultimately responsible for payment should funds not go through. Please be aware of your account balance prior to signing up. Should you not have the full amount, we can bill you the difference. You will also be financially responsible for camp days that land on holidays that may not be covered by your charter.
- There is a 4% fee for cancellations per enrollment.
Cancellations must be made 2 weeks prior to your camp date or the guardian is responsible for full tuition. - Should you miss camp for any reason we do not refund or credit or offer make up days, this may include vacations, illness or unforeseen incidents.
- We do not offer make up days.
- We are not responsible for lost items at camp. Please do not bring anything valuable.
- We are a drop-off only program. Please note this prior to registration.
- Once you register you will get a welcome letter automatically sent to your inbox. If you don’t receive one, please check your junk mail and then reach out to us at hello@campshine.com to make sure that you are indeed registered with us.
