Gifford Farm Education Center, run by Educational Service Unit 3 in Bellevue, Nebraska, offers hands-on farm-based half-day summer camps. Little Saplings serves ages 4-6 and Farm Camp serves ages 6-12, each a five-day session running mornings (about 9:00am to 12:30pm) with animal care, nature and farm activities. It suits families wanting a short outdoor, farm-focused program.

Powered by GoogleWe’ve been here twice! The first time was amazing and the staff were so kind. The second time, we had a library pass to go, but it ended up being closed to the public, instead of turning my family away, they allowed us to still visit the animals. They were SO kind to us, and still allowed us to pet animals and gave their time to still talk to us. We will definitely always be back! We love it there and the people are AMAZING!
Very educational for young school students. The presenters do an excellent job of imparting basic and useful information and knowledge. Thank you!
I loved all the workers/ volunteers doing their best to educate the wired up children and make it fun. Worth going to visit during their specialy selected hours
Such sweet people who let us see the animals even though we unknowingly came at closing! My boys were so excited!
It's been an amazing experience while visiting there. It's so beautiful , best time to visit is morning time. You see , so much of beautiful moments , sunrise , birds chirping and that Peace, will win your heart like anything. It's a must go to place. It's very well instructed and do stop by to the observation deck. A "WETLAND" you don't want to miss.
