Intersession Camps (Grades 5-9) S4T camps provide in depth learning in a social setting. Students work in teams to complete in field projects, recipe creations, or business ideas. Programs are offered 4 times yearly, generally in the summer, fall, winter, and spring, and provide outdoor, hands-on learning through collaboration between students, high school interns, teachers, and agricultural industry professionals. Farm field trips, guest speakers, recipe creation, garden art, and presentations by agricultural researchers continue to bring students back to S4T.

The community is invited to join us on the first Saturday of each month to work and learn together while planting, weeding, or harvesting current crops. Garden maintenance is completed by numerous students and community volunteers. This is a great opportunity to accumulate community service hours while working with friends in a calm, outdoor setting.. (link to more Garden Day page, more info and Registration) S4T Community events We encourage the community to maintain home gardens and offer a free quarterly plant or seed distribution and mini growing lesson. Area schools, farms, and restaurants donate plant cuttings and seeds to encourage gardening success.
