Learning Farm STEAM In Nature After School Program Commences

The Learning Farm After School Program provides local schoolchildren with opportunities to engage in healthy outdoor play in a beautiful, natural setting. Here, children connect with the outdoors and discover their relationship to sustainable local food production and shared community meals. The program offers enriching, project-based STEM/STEAM activities led by visiting experts, who teach fun skills and promote teamwork. Students also receive daily homework support and a healthy, student-created snack. Both structured and unstructured play time are available, with ICSD buses transporting children from school to the farm.

The program's mission is to equip children with the tools, support, motivation, and rewards necessary to become responsible, knowledgeable, and caring individuals.
