Camp on the Farm

Farm Camp is run from our 1-acre school farm in the Mission Terrace neighborhood. We provide an opportunity for children to connect with nature while directly participating in the daily rhythms of farm life. Our day camp is designed to inspire a connection with and love of the natural world, and also a chance to get hands dirty in fun and educational ways. Activities include animal care for our chickens and rabbit, planting, weeding, watering, mulching, harvesting, compost care, crafts and free play. Children will bring snacks and lunch and come prepared to get dirty!

All Farm Camp Sessions will be from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Ages 4.5 - 12 years old

All Farm Camp programming and policies will be in compliance with current SF Interim Guidance for Out of School Time Programs.
  • Adherence to guidance includes following distance, disinfecting and cleaning guidelines as published by the CDC, SF Health Department and other agencies; Currently, masks are optional outdoors, same goes for parents/guardians wearing face coverings at drop off and pick-up.
 
The safety guidelines will continue to shape our policies around pickup and drop-off, meals, distancing, hand washing and more.  Last summer we got creative and churned up new ideas to joyously interact as a group on our beautiful farm.  In addition to relaxed COVID-guidelines, there will be plenty of work to do to care for the plants and animals and we will continue to offer farm-based crafts, plenty of free play, stories, songs, and cooperative games.  Our stump circle is amply-spaced and each child will have a designated stump and surrounding stump area where they will eat, work on projects, read, rest, and call home base!
Currently enrolled Golden Bridges families are given registration priority.
General public registration opens February 15, 2023.
"There is a lot of focus in education on school gardens, healthy eating, and environmental stewardship, but Golden Bridges offers this experience as the foundation for all areas of learning. It is how my kids study math, tell stories, master language and experiment in a hands-on way."
