FARMS is a local non-profitorganization that connects classrooms,farms, cafeterias, and communitiesthrough hands-on educationalprograms. During the 2012 summer,Kieve and Wavus campers learned allabout maintaining a garden throughhands-on activities such as directseeding, transplanting, trellising,pruning, weeding, composting,pest-management, and harvesting.Simultaneously, the FARMS GardenProgram curriculum educates aboutthe environmental and health benefitsof organic gardening and supportinglocal agriculture. All produce wasdonated to the camp cafeterias and/or used in Taste Tests directly inthe gardens. The FARMS GardenProgram was a success thanks to thecollaboration, enthusiasm, and hardwork of many members of the Kieve-Wavus community including staff infood service, maintenance, education,leadership, administration, and ofcourse, campers!24An exciting addition to the 2013 Kieve-Wavus FARMS Garden Program is thecollaboration with The LeadershipSchool and Jefferson Village School(JVS).
