Our Mission |
Spence's Farm is a 203 year
old family farm transformed into a versatile teaching
environment with a program built around life on a working
farm. Our low mentor/camper ratio allows each child
personal attention.
Our primary goal is to empower greatness in children
and our experiential programs are designed to increase
each child's personal knowledge. Our camp is distinguished
by its attention to personal growth.
 Parent's
Guide to Summer Camp
Mentoring: Once family, friends and neighbors
took an active responsibility as Mentors in raising
children. As trusted guides and wise teachers, their
vital relationship helped young adults become positive
contributors in the larger community. We have created
this environment for your family to experience those
values.
We also developed and use the CRAFTS of Partnership,
which we use in how we teach our programs:
COMMUNICATION
RESPECT
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
FRIENDSHIP
TRUST
SETTING GOOD BOUNDARIES
Each day we begin with a discussion of one of our daily
themes: partnership, goal setting, communication, problem
solving and personal responsibility. Awareness of these
themes will empower your child throughout life. At the
end of each day we review the topic and have an important
acknowledgment session. We encourage everyone to share
fellow campers' positive behaviors, and accomplishments,
as well as their own.
Staff: Each program has one or more adult/mentor
leaders, persons who, because of their accumulated life
experiences, skills and knowledge, we consider to be
positive role models. Our mentors may be assisted by
one or more young people enrolled in our Junior Mentor
Training Program.
