“A day in the country is worth a month in the city.” Fulper Family Farmstead’s unique summer camp program is the epitome of this quote. Join their farm family for the week and make memories that last a lifetime.
For the last nine years, the Fulpers have opened their barn doors to children for the ultimate fun-on-the-farm experience.
Participants will soak up the fresh farm air, learn where milk and dairy products come from, witness real daily farm chores, and care for their own calf.
In addition, the campers will cool off on the slip ‘n’ slide and milking parlor water games as well as refuel with farm fresh dairy and homemade farmstead snacks.
Additional activities include the chance to watch 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 much more.
Interested in a day camp program that includes farm life, fresh air, exercise, creativity, collaboration and teamwork? The Fulpers are excited about their revamped Farmstead Adventure Camp. 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 and have never milked a cow.
Each camp participant picks out his/her very own calf to take care of for the week. The camper is in charge of naming the calf and learning how to wash, clip, and properly handle it. Families are invited to the farm on the last day to watch each camper present the calf in the show.
The weekly day camps run from July through mid-August at Fulper Farms in Lambertville (West Amwell).
