Safety
We will educate the children in safe farm conduct around poisonous plants, electric fences, tools, and the animals. At NVF, we do our best to meet kids where they are. However, we have baseline expectations that kids can understand the meaning of "no," "pause," and "stop", that they can be responsible for taking care of their fundamental needs (e.g. fueling their body with water and food, dressing themselves for the weather, etc.), that they can follow basic directions, and that they can operate in a group setting with other kids. New Village Farm reserves the right to ask children who infringes on the safety of themselves or others by consistently violating the boundaries and conduct requested of them.
Tuition
In April Vacation Camp, the days run from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm. This is a full week session costs $385/child.
Discount Policy
We offer 10% discounts for any siblings. The 10% is only deducted from the second or more children's tuition and is made at checkout.
