The Sprouts camp will be a continuation of Roots. From veggies to chickens, herbal medicine to goat cheese, farmers who go to Sprouts camp will be learning the particulars of farm life. They will also be exploring the more in-depth the intricacies of a permaculture farm, from indicator species to beneficial bugs. This camp is designed for farmers ages 7-11 who have been to Roots camp.

Shoots Camp

The Shoots camp will spend a significant amount of time on the farm, learning from personal experience and mentorship.

Hello,
My name is Cecile I am a 30 year old yoga teacher.
I have complete a 72hr design course in permaculture last year.
As I be visiting the US this summer I am looking for places to work and learn.
I was wandering if I could come and help for the Shoot Camp 2-6th of August as I am planning to come to Spokane on those days...
I teach Kids yoga, as well, or can help in the farm...
Let me know if you are interested or know permaculture places where I could volunteer...
Thanks in advance,
Love
Cecile
