Appalachian Adventure Kids Camp
At Full Moon Flowers, we believe in cultivating beauty, connection, and curiosity through nature. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, our farm is a place where children can explore, create, and grow. Our nature-based summer camp is designed to inspire kids to be curious, brave, and deeply connected to the world around them through hands-on experiences in the outdoors.
Each week, campers ages 5-12 will engage in movement, collaboration, mindfulness, and creativity, all while immersed in the beauty of our farm and forests.
With a 1:10 staff-to-child ratio, we provide a safe and supportive space for discovery. From exploring the land and caring for farm animals to creative arts, science experiments, and storytelling, every day is a new adventure.
