Our Farm to Camp Program teaches youth about sourcing, preparing, and eating healthy food and expanding creativity through textiles
Our Farm to Camp Program
Farm to Camp is an outreach program where produce sourced from Raleigh City Farm is used to create tasty recipes shared with campers ages 5-14 at The Salvation Army on Wake Forest Road. Local chefs lead and inspire the students — and parents get to take home additional produce. This program was piloted in 2019 with seed money from the Jamie Kirk Hahn Fund. A program expansion in 2021 included textile crafts with our partners at Spoonflower. Thanks to support from Telus, we added a technology ingredient in 2023, using digital content to reinforce the themes of each session. In 2024, we are incorporating mindfulness and empowerment sessions through our partners at Workplace Options.
