Immerse your child in the magic of farm life
We offer a unique and enriching experience where children learn valuable life skills while connecting with nature and building lasting friendships.
Our camp is modeled after the traditional family farm, where children learned by doing alongside mentors. Campers will gain hands-on experience with a variety of farm animals, including chickens, bunnies, pigs, goats, and horses. They'll learn about animal care, observe their behaviors, and build meaningful relationships with these gentle creatures.

Our Philosophy
We believe in developing strong partnerships. We begin and end each day with discussions on the theme of the day, how well we work together, how we communicated, our personal responsibilities and goals.
​
We believe that animals are some of the best teachers. They are honest and non-judgmental, providing invaluable lessons in empathy, responsibility, and communication.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should my camper bring to camp?
I'm curious about the Junior Mentor Program. What is that? We love our Junior Mentors! The Junior Mentor Program is an opportunity for campers who excel in or want to take more responsibility in the farm environment. Campers who have learned about the farm and are ready to take the next step forward, while still keeping one hand back for the next generation of campers coming up. If you or your camper is interested in becoming a Junior Mentor please email us at admin@sunrisecfc.com. ​ Already know you want to apply, and turning twelve soon? Look in our "more" section for the application.
What if I have to be at work before 8 or after 3:30? We offer early care, with drop off as early as 7:30 a.m., and after care, with pick up as late as 6:00 p.m.
My child is taking a horse lesson or woodshop class. What time should I pick them up? Our extended care lessons vary in time. If your camper needs to stay at the farm between pickup and their lesson start time, or if you can't pick them up directly after, sign them up for aftercare, which ends promptly at 6:00 p.m.
Can I come see the farm before registering? Yes! We are open every Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We can show you around the farm, or you can explore on your own!
Is camp cancelled if it rains? ...No! We hold camp as planned rain or shine. We have plenty of sheltered areas, and camp can be just as fun if it's raining!
My camper cannot swim. Do they need to know how to swim? Our campers stay in the shallow end of the pond and are not allowed to go deeper than their chests unless they have passed the swim test. They are in the water with Mentors and Junior Mentors, with plenty of supervision. You may send floaties or a life jacket if you are more comfortable with that.​​ All campers must pass a swim test to swim in the deep end. The swim test consists of treading water for 2 minutes, then swimming to the end of the pond. The campers are supervised by our certified life guard as well as assistants in the water next to them while taking the test, in case they cannot complete it. Once campers have passed the swim test, they are allowed in the deep end for the rest of the summer.
Does my child need to bring their own helmet for horse riding? We provide helmets, though your camper may bring their own if they prefer. However, it does have to be a horse helmet, it cannot be a bike helmet.
Dear staff,
[We] had a lot of fun at the birthday event today, thank you so much for giving her and her friends such a wonderful experience! Spence really took his time to educate and speak to the children, which we all appreciated. The horse riding part was really exciting especially for those who experienced it for the very first time. It's really lovely to be a part of this wonderful community and we really appreciate you!!
