Campers will create music and form bands, and have a blowout concert at the end of camp, to showcase their new talent. There will also be workshops which include urban farming, self defense, team building, activism and zine making. Tiny Acres will be hosting a workshop on how "To dig in, get dirty and grow".

Environmental Cirriclulum
This year we will be teaching the interactions of pollination from wind, animals, bees, etc... We will also be supplying our classes with 2 mushroom growing kits supplied by Back To Roots and purchasing two aquaponic systems for our classrooms as well!
We will also be starting mini green houses to sprout tomato plants, peppers and more that can be taken home to grow in your own backyard.
Who lives at the Farm? This will involve close observation of bugs, birds and more. As well as, walking around the farm like a rabbitt to see what sticks to a rabbits fur, and where it ends up.
