Fall Break Farmsteaders Camp
A five-day, hands-on farm camp where kids ages 5-16 learn what it means to be a Farmsteader. Through daily discovery and activity, campers connect with the land and animals in a meaningful way. No prior farm or animal experience is required—just a curiosity to learn and grow.

This five-day farm camp immerses kids in the daily rhythms of life at Leaning Post Acres. Each day features a unique theme designed to build local knowledge, practical skills, and a deeper connection to nature.

Hands-on time in the dirt, learning how we grow food in the desert, managing soil, and planting seasonal crops.

Learning the gentle skill of horsemanship and safe practices around large animals and livestock.
