Summer Camps

Summer in the Soil Urban Agriculture Camps combine greening & growing, cooking, green arts, S.T.E.A.M. and youth development activities for a summer of exploration and growth! From roots to fruits to compost pile, campers will examine where their food comes from and why it matters… and have lots of fun!

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and related public health concerns, we are not holding summer camp for our 2020 season. Please check back in the fall for updates on our next camp program!

About our Unique Pricing Model at PS516 in Sunset Park
