2015 WAS A FANTASTIC SUMMER FULL OF FUN -- THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR COMING OUT TO THE FARM!!
This will give you an idea of what we created last year.
We will have more of the same and also some new classes.
Keep checking in!
We are excited to have our Summer schedule up-- most of June is full but scroll down for the new July postings. As always we require a deposit of at least half the class to hold your spot. Email laughingbuckfarm at gmail dot com with the classes you are wanting to register for and I will let you know the deposit and we will put your kid/kids on the list. We keep our classes small and they fill up quickly so sign up and get your deposit in quickly to avoid disappointment. There are many classes available so we are hoping that you will be able to get some fun farm time in this summer.
A sweet note: Wednesday horse classes with Natalie are mostly hands on with horses so let's make sure it's the real horse lovers that sign up for these. We want to make sure the kids get the most out of their horse class with the small size and teacher focus. We greatly appreciate it. We are offering more farm classes weekly that will incorporate nature activities, garden, farm play and horse riding.
**We are waiting to set dates for Art on the Farm Camp, Swordplay Camp, Herb Classes and Primitive Skills classes so keep checking in for updates.**
