Valley Shore YMCA

Farm to Table Camp

In its second year funded by The Rockfall Foundation, Valley Shore YMCA will once again hold a “Farm to Table” gardening camp in August. This camp serves to educate children on the importance of growing a garden, harvesting produce for themselves and others, and upholding the responsibility to be good stewards of the earth. The 1-week camp uses four “teaching beds” in the YMCA Community Garden and it culminates with a class-led celebratory meal preparation from harvested produce, and a Final Feast including the prepared foods for camp attendees and their invitees. Grant amount: $2,500.
