Garden & Farm Camps
Is your child ready to dig into the worlds of the farm, garden, and kitchen? With Seattle Public Schools continuing the year all online, Tilth Alliance is offering a safe, outdoor addition to online learning!
At both the Good Shepherd Center and Rainier Beach Urban and Wetlands, participants will find out where food comes from as they engage in outdoor science activities, garden crafts, educational games, and caring for the crops in Tilth Alliance’s gardens and farm.
Tilth Alliance has been offering children’s garden education for more than three decades. We provide a positive, structured and educational outdoor learning environment. Many kids return year after year to experience the variety of opportunities at various ages and we love seeing returning campers, as well as meeting new ones!
