Adventure starts here.

Many families are trying to figure out what to do to keep their kids safe, active, and healthy socially and emotionally during this pandemic. We have the answer! 


Learning on the go.

Each session will be led by experienced, certified educators. Activities include discovering the farm, meeting our cows, goats, sheep and other barnyard animals, diving into scavenger hunts and hiking, becoming a nature detective, exploring plants and pollinators in the children’s garden, exploring the wet meadow and much more.

Work while they play.

Parents and caretakers are invited to stay on site in our outdoor spaces while the kids are participating in the programs. This is a great option for parents who want to use this time to work, or would like to skip the extra driving.

Health & Safety Measures


  1. Masks & Temperature Checks
    All educators will wear masks and we will have daily temperature checks for everyone. Children will wear masks if time indoors is required due to inclement weather.
  2. Contactless Drop Off
    Children will wear masks if indoor time is required due to inclement weather.  We will have a contactless drop off.  Pods will not intermix and will be the same for the duration of the session.
  3. Small Groups
    Group sizes will be limited and COVID-19 CDC and Maryland Early Childhood State Guidelines will be strictly followed and enforced.
