Application Form (pdf)
The farm is for children who love animals and who, themselves, choose to attend. The experience is not for the socially troubled. Most children enroll in one session each summer and this is quite adequate for a meaningful experience. Some, however, want more and this can work if there are at least two weeks of rest at home between attended sessions. Each week enrolls thirty-six children.
We are planning twelve five-day sessions which will begin at 9:00am Mondays and finish at 3:00pm Fridays. All sessions are listed below. Those with limited or no space are indicated in brown note. If you want into a session that is marked full, email us to go on standby.

Demand caused some thirty-five children to be turned away from our 2009 program, so early enrollment is suggested, especially if your summer calendar is complex. Spaces may be reserved by sending an application and deposit ($250 per child) which is refundable up to noon of our May 9, 2010 Open House.
Once you are ready to enroll, e-mail us and we will hold your space while you complete, print and send your application and payment for each child. (This form is in PDF format and may be completed on your computer before printing and mailing to us.) Upon receipt of the application, a confirmation will be sent to you with an enrollment kit which contains a detailed checklist and summary of policies. All fees are refundable until noon of our May 9, 2010 Open House, or if space is not available when you apply. If you have any questions about the program or our policies feel free to contact us now. You are also invited to call our references with your questions. A list may be found on back flap of hardcopy brochure and includes some one hundred families that have been with us for at least the past two summers. Or, if you do not have a brochure, you may email us for a list of families in your area.
