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.
