Powered by GoogleOur son Xavier has been a part of Turn Back Times Kindercamp during the covid epidemic. As a 9 year old now, he loves going there to care for the farm animals, learn about gardening, climb trees and loves to immerse himself in nature. Turn Back Times slogan is Let Nature Be Your Teacher… and I couldn’t agree more :)
We love it here! My boys enjoy the whole experience, they are outside, playing in the dirt and water and with farm animals. Learning, forest bathing and having a great time. Lisa runs a great program here. We've participated for a few years now and plan to keep coming!
The preschool program has been an incredible experience for our son. Everyone there has done such great job and they have a truly unique and valuable program for the kids. I can't recommend them enough.
I visited today for a kid's birthday party (because I was supervising a kid). It was a blast. The kids and their adults all seemed to have a great time. Because children are sloppy little chaos goblins, I suggest bringing a change of clothes. There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to get joyously filthy. (That being said, most kids stayed pretty clean.) Veda and Matt (or maybe Mike? Sorry, can't remember!) facilitated the party and were both great. We spent two hours there, and nobody was ever bored. There was a great variety of activities, and Veda kept the kids moving along so they got to check it all out. I would *absolutely* recommend this place, and look forward to participating in some of the programs TBT offers.
Today we did Family Farm Time. It was great! Would definitely bring my son back!! So cute!!
