Deep Roots CPS Farm Youth Summer Camp

Deep Roots CPS Farm Youth Summer Camp offers a week-long immersive experience for youth ages 8-18, located at our urban farm nestled in the heart of Charlotte, NC. This camp is designed to provide children with hands-on learning experiences, outdoor exploration, and meaningful farm activities. No need to pack a lunch! We provide a nutritious, delicious meal every day using ingredients grown right here on the farm.

Camp Highlights
• Educational Workshops: Learn about urban agriculture, sustainable farming practices, and where food comes from.
• Hands-on Farm Stewardship: Kids don't just watch; they participate. Campers learn responsibility and biology by helping care for the land, planting seeds, and tending to animals.
• Outdoor Exploration: Explore our farm, participate in scavenger hunts, and enjoy nature walks.
• Deep Thinking: Each day students explore and express thoughts about sustainability and food security.
• Arts and Crafts: Get creative with farm-themed art projects and DIY activities.
• Healthy Living: Enjoy nutritious lunches made with fresh ingredients grown right here at the farm.
Our Philosophy Note: We intentionally keep our age range open (8-18) to foster a true community environment. We encourage cross-generational connections where learning happens simultaneously, older youth build leadership skills while mentoring younger campers, and everyone works together toward a common harvest.
