Update on Farm School Sleeping Spaces:

We are excited about the addition of our beautiful cabins for program participants. During the registration process you will no longer need to sign up based on location (ex. westside, eastside/ tent/cabin). Instead we are asking that participants select their preference of a gender free space or a male or female identifying space based on how they identify and we will place youth in the corresponding areas. This is our initial step to meeting a need for both gender specific and gender free spaces, we understand there is still much work to do year by year, and we will continue to welcome your feedback as we continue to grow into a more inclusive summer program.

The Farm School is a non-profit and reserves 15% of its Summer Program openings for students from a network of partner schools, plus gives financial assistance when needed. These children would otherwise be unable to attend summer programs, we would be very grateful for a gift from you to be used to directly support this program. Thank you for your ongoing support; you can make your donation below.
