For their trails, their history, their gardens, and their beaches. For the simple reason that nature and culture can soothe the soul and improve our lives.


Farmer for a Day: Spring Break Drop-Off for Kids

In the spring, the farmers at Appleton are busy planting vegetables and caring for the new life on the farm. There is no better place to spend spring farm days than in exploring in the fields & forests and learning to love the outdoors in all seasons! This program is for kids who are looking to make friends, explore the farm, and learn about life in New England in spring. Every day will include an outdoor adventure of hiking, a theme-based craft, a farm learning activity, and other farm explorations.

This is a school vacation camp drop-off program running Monday – Friday 9am-3pm April 17-21. You pay by the day, so come one or all five!

Campers should be prepared to spend the day mostly outdoors and we’ll have snack and lunch on the farm. A parent handbook will be provided to all parents and registration requires submission of child’s health forms, per licensing requirements.

Pricing per day: $80 Member Child/$100 Nonmember Child

Upon completing registration for this program, you will be contacted directly with detailed program information, instructions, and requirements. Please contact jkarr@thetrustees.org with any questions.
