Turtle Island Summer Camp
Turtle Island refers to the original Native American name for North America, and Hilltop Hanover Farm offers a unique setting for a summer camp where every day is spent outdoors in nature. Educators are dedicated to promoting as many varied arts and skills as possible inside of the natural surroundings of this extraordinary 183-acre facility.
The programs encourage individuality and creativity, with each child's unique contribution adding to the cohesion of all. Games and exercises are designed to promote teamwork and cooperation, rather than competition. Art projects focus on the process more than on the result. Sensory, hands-on experience is the approach for all of these farm-based activities, which include Art, Design, Handicrafts, Organic Farming, Gardening, Hiking, Teamwork Games, and Wilderness Skills.
