    Hello,
    We’re curious about your summer camp at Buckman. I know the dates and the cost … could you please tell me more about what you have planned/what the week will be like for the kids?
    Thanks!

  2. Thanks for asking! We will be doing garden-based activities–weeding, watering, playing games, and doing a little “academic” lesson) in the mornings, and then the afternoons will be devoted to leadership development. (Still garden-based, but within a little bit larger context.) Please feel free to call 503-929-7170 if you’d like to ask specific questions. We look forward to hearing from you!
