Explore the food changes and nutrient cycles of the critters, wild and not-so-wild, living on the organic farm and surrounding wildness of Yellowhawk Creek. Learn to take care of animals on the farm, dissect owl pellets, construct compost bins, and hunt for nymphs and caddis larva in the creek.
Participants should bring a sack lunch, water bottle, sunscreen, sunhat, and an extra pair of clothes for getting dirty and wet.
Three trained camp counselors will lead this session with guest appearances from Welcome Table farmers.

We’re pleased to announce that our Farm Kids programs at Welcome Table Farm will proceed on the dates originally planned.
Walla Walla County is in Phase II of Governor Inslee’s Safe Start Washington Plan. To fully comply with Washington health and safety guidance for summer day camps, we will observe these standards:
The size of each class will be limited to 14 students. Washington state guidance is 22 people or less.
Each class will be divided equally into two groups. Each group will be composed of 7 students or less plus two instructors.
All students and staff will wear facial cloth masks throughout the day. All children must bring their own facial coverings. We ask that parents have their children practice wearing their masks now.
Hand sanitizing and handwashing will be required frequently.
Social distancing of 6 feet will be maintained to the best of our ability.
Verification of the students’ health by their parents/guardians will be required each day. We will take the student temperatures during the drop-off process.
We will continue to work with Walla Walla County Public Health personnel and follow all of their guidance. If our County’s phase-status worsens, the classes will be cancelled.
