The Fulper Family Farmstead’s summer camp program again is being offered.
For the last nine years, the Fulpers have opened their barn doors to children for a fun-on-the-farm experience.
”I have a passion for youth and strive to deliver an unforgettable, rewarding, and refreshing hands-on dairy farm experience,” Breanna Fulper said.
Participants will soak up fresh farm air, learn where milk and dairy products come from, witness real daily farm chores and care for their own calf.
The program includes farm life, physical and cognitive exercise, creativity, collaboration and teamwork. In addition, campers can cool off on the slip ‘n slide and milking parlor water game as well as refuel with farm fresh dairy and homemade farmstead snacks.
The farm’s fourth generation, Robert II and Fred Fulper, believe on-farm education is crucial for the future of agriculture in New Jersey since most people today are far removed from their agricultural ancestry.
Each camp participant picks out their own calf to take care of for the week. They are in charge of naming their calf and learning how to wash, clip and properly handle them for the show at the end of the week.
Families are invited on the last day to watch each camper present their calf in the show.
Additional activities include watching a cow give birth, hunts, relay races, dairy jeopardy, course, water games, homemade ice cream, milking a cow, homemade milk paint for crafts, meeting the dairy princess and more.
The weekly day camps run from July through mid-August. Contact Megan Dewalt at 609-651-5991 or [email protected] for more details and/or a registration packet.
