Radical Regenerative Farming & Education

Discover and Embark on an extraordinary journey at Hamilton Pool Nature Academy and Farm School

CAMP

For ages 4-10. Time to get outside and play! Even during the Texas summer. Farm Camp at Hamilton Pool Farms provides endless opportunities for kids to connect with the natural world while experiencing the rhythms of a working farm. Each camp day is designed to inspire a connection with and love of nature and the outdoors.

Activities include working with chickens (feeding, giving water, collecting eggs, learning all about them), planting in the green house & garden, harvesting vegetables, cooking delicious organic snacks, crafts, group games, songs, stories, and so much more. We cool off at the end of each day with water play and games under our shady oaks.

We are doing all the above on the farm in the morning, then at lunchtime, we head indoors to eat.  After lunch, half the class is outside enjoying water play while the other half is indoors doing crafts and activities.  Then the classes switch.  We stay very mindful of hydrating all day. 

NATURE & FARM SCHOOL
Friday Program

For ages 3-16. Our Friday Farm School program immerses students in outdoor learning opportunities on our sustainable organic biodynamic farm and surrounding natural preserve. Our land is a living classroom for kids to explore, experience, and connect with the fascinating natural diversity found in nature & on a working farm. We offer a dynamic, 100% outdoor Waldorf inspired curriculum provided by our team of experienced gardening and outdoor educators. Our program is offered year-round with camps offered during spring, winter & summer breaks.
