Our Compassionate Caretakers class will gather together in our beautiful space to make discoveries, play, create, hike and explore alongside our animal friends. We will also participate in introductory caretaking for our rescued residents, gardens, and environment.
This summer, Heartland Farm Sanctuary will offer one week sessions of Humane Education camp. During their time at the Sanctuary, campers will:
*The week of July 4th is an abbreviated week, with camp happening Wednesday – Friday (July 5-7). For this week only, rates are $200 (if you register and pay in February) and $225 (if you register on or after March 1). Early Bird Drop-off is $15 and Late pick is $45.
Early Bird Drop-off gives you the option to bring your camper(s) to Heartland up to a half-hour before the camp day begins. Campers who are signed up for Early Bird Drop-off will be able to spend this time visiting with other campers, playing games, and working on casual projects and activities, all with the supervision and guidance of a Heartland camp staff member. This is a great option to add to your camper’s day if you need some schedule flexibility in the mornings, or if it would benefit your child to arrive at Heartland early to have some quiet time before the day begins. Please note that all campers who are dropped off at Heartland before their camp’s designated drop-off time are required to be registered in Early Bird Drop-off for the FULL week of camp. Unregistered early campers are welcome to wait with their guardians until camp begins, but any early campers who are being supervised by Heartland staff must register for Early Bird Drop-off.
Late Pick-up gives you the option to pick up your camper(s) from Heartland up to 90 minutes after the camp day has ended. Campers who are signed up for Late Pick-up will be able to spend this time visiting with other campers, playing games, and working on casual projects and activities, all with the supervision and guidance of a Heartland camp staff member. This is a great option to add to your camper’s day if you need some schedule flexibility in the afternoons. Please note that Late Pick-up will be a more casual setting in which campers can socialize and do activities while they wait to be picked up, and will not be a direct continuation of the Humane Education or Leadership camps. All campers who remain at Heartland under staff supervision past their camp’s designated pick-up time are required to be registered in Late Pick-up for the FULL week of camp.
Leadership camp is an advanced program for older campers who have an exceptional interest in our mission. During their time at the Sanctuary, Leadership campers will:

We are dedicated to collaborating with you and your child to set them up for a successful and positive experience in our programs. Our first priority is always your child’s safety, and if at any point during the intake or enrollment process or during participation in our programs we feel that Heartland is not a safe environment for your child, we reserve the right to pause or discontinue their enrollment or participation.
