The Fulpers are more excited than ever for their revamped Farmstead Adventure Camp. The farm’s fourth generation, Robert II and Fred Fulper, believe on-farm education is crucial for the future of agriculture in New Jersey since most people today are far removed from their agricultural ancestry.
Each camp participant picks out their very own calf to take care of for the week. They are in charge of naming their calf and learning how to wash, clip, and properly handle them for the show at the end of the week. Families are invited on the last day to watch each camper present their calf in the show. Additional activities include hayrides, watching a cow give birth, scavenger hunts, relay races, dairy jeopardy, obstacle course, water games, making homemade ice cream, milking a cow, making homemade milk paint for crafts, meeting the dairy princess and more.
The weekly day camps run from July through mid-August at Fulper Farms in Lambertville. Contact Amanda Mitcheltree at 609-651-5991 or firstname.lastname@example.org for more details and/or a registration packet.
