The 2025 Farm & Wilderness Fair is a great day for families to visit campers, explore activities, and experience camp life.
Fair is a fun culminating event and a chance for you to visit your camper, see what they've been up to, and get a taste of life at Farm & Wilderness. While attending Fair is optional, we encourage you to come if you are able! Here are a few key things to keep in mind:
- Fair is like a visiting day with your camper held at our Fairgrounds rather than at the camps. They will show you around, point out Farm and Firebuilding skill demonstrations, and introduce you to friends and counselors. You’ll have a chance to swim in the same lake they do, join in a singalong of camp songs, contradance to a string band and witness the bonfire being lit.
- Campers do not leave with you after Fair. They return to camp for one more special evening with their cabin group. This final night is an emotional and meaningful capstone to their session. Campers depart the following morning.
- Be prepared that your child may be excited to see you but also tired from the eventful day. They may be clingy or seem distracted. This is all normal as they navigate the many emotions of wrapping up their time at camp while being back with family.
- You are welcome to bring a picnic meal. There will also be food available for purchase. More details to come on menu options.
- Parking at camp is extremely limited. Shuttles will run throughout the day to transport visitors to and from auxiliary parking lots. Please be patient as there may be lines and wait times, especially during peak hours. Shuttles begin over an hour before Fair begins so be prepared to wait if you get there early. We appreciate your understanding!
- There is no admission fee for Fair. We do charge for parking to cover the cost of renting auxiliary parking.
We can't wait to welcome you to Farm & Wilderness and celebrate our campers' incredible accomplishments together. Get ready for a joyful, action-packed day! Please reach out with any questions as Fair approaches.
