City kids who pine for country living get a head start at this Westchester camp. Younger Sprouts and Growers learn about farm operations, feed animals and build shelters, while Farmers discuss sustainability and put their green thumbs to use during gardening activities. Older Foragers become jacks-of-all-trades by mentoring younger campers, helping at the markets and learning about food policies. A new Farm 101 program gives kids of all ages a weeklong introduction to farm animals and fresh vegetable snacks. Registration is ongoing.
