MSU Extension Tollgate Farm and Education Center

 2026 Summer Farm Camp at Tollgate  

Summer Farm Camp Registration will Open on January 15, 2026

Summer Camp fun starts at Tollgate! Summer Farm Camp engages campers in all aspects of farm life including helping to care for goats, sheep, rabbits, chickens, ducks, and ponies, assisting in our fields where we grow a variety of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers, and preparing daily snacks in our Garden Kitchen. We also have classic camp activities such as tie-dye, fishing, and canoeing, and all the campers enjoy a wagon ride around the farm!  

Weeklong, hands-on projects in every camp focus on different science, technology, engineering, and math topics, and throughout the week campers have multiple opportunities to express their individual creativity through art. On Friday afternoons, caregivers are invited to attend our Camp Showcase where campers perform camp skits and show off their projects from the week! This summer, we are offering three different camp themes for two separate age groups. Please see descriptions below for special activities included in those themed camps.
