Fun With Deep Roots

Our campers nurture connections with themselves, their community, and the earth through six core program areas – Farm to Table, Music, Culinary Arts, Survival Skills, Herbalism, and Yahadut (Jewish spirituality) – as well as Art, Waterfront and more.

Daily Schedule

  • Farm to Table

    From seed to harvest, our campers run our organic farm – including collecting eggs from the chickens, milking the goats, planting, composting, harvesting, pruning, setting up drip irrigation, and even designing and building new gardens around camp. Our campers develop the skills and confidence to grow their own food, and to preserve the harvest by making delicious jams, pickles, fermented vegetables, cider, cheeses and ice cream.

  • Music

    There’s no canned music at Eden Village, which makes space for our rich live music culture. Through guitar, ukelele and drum lessons, choir, song-writing, drum circles, song sessions and more, we come home from camp with music in our hearts.

  • Culinary Arts

    Put on your chef’s hat and step into the kitchen where we turn the bounty of the land into delicious dishes and farm-to-table feasts! In our culinary arts center, campers work alongside experienced chefs to develop their cooking skills and prepare delicacies to share with the rest of the camp community. Areas of special focus include breads and pastries, cheeses, bountiful salads, soups and broths, dips, and vegan entrees and desserts. All the food we prepare and eat at camp is 100% organic, 100% kosher, 100% of the time.

  • Survival Skills

    Gather round in the forest and immerse yourself in the wisdom of the trees. Our campers have the opportunity to build and tend fire, make their own bows and arrows, weave baskets, carve spoons and bowls, find wild edible plants, gain hazard awareness, and more. As campers play and explore, they grow their self-confidence and develop a profound kinship with the natural world.
