The Last Day of Camp

Setting up shop

After six weeks of programming, it was hard to believe that summer was ending so soon! We spent our final day of camp harvesting crops, cooking, and tending our harvest fair table to share our favorite snacks and stories with parents and friends at the CSA pick-up.

What have you got today?

We had an amazing summer with all of our campers. Be sure to check out the blog for weekly posts featuring details on workshops, programs, and events held by Waltham Fields, healthy recipes, information on diet and the environment, and local food and farm events.

We hope to see you this fall and next year!

Quotes to Remember: Summer 2010


While the kids discussed the importance of salt (sodium) in the human diet:

"It's just like a fortune cookie!" Martin

We're not sure of the exact connection Martin made between the essential mineral and fortune cookies, but his moment of enlightenment was something we could all enjoy!

"This is going to be the best year of farm camp EVER!" Sam


And we hope it was!

While peeling and chopping garlic during a cooking activity:

"I wish they made a card that when you scratch it, it smelled like garlic." Owen


We very much appreciated your love of Allium sativum; we'll know who to call when we see garlic-scented cards on store shelves.
