Little PEAS Summer Camps

In the sun-dappled Orchard Homes neighborhood of Missoula, the Little PEAS Summer Camps spring to life, offering an immersive and life-enriching farming experience for children. This is not merely a camp—it's a journey into the heart and soul of sustainable agriculture. With the noble aim of building community through farming, particularly among individuals with low incomes, the Little PEAS camp unveils the beauty of ecologically conscious agriculture. Here, the earth isn’t just soil—it's a canvas for growth and learning. From planting seeds to harvesting ripe produce, children learn the full cycle of food production, and the intricate ties that bind us to the land beneath our feet. The Seed & Feed Summer Camp, a part of Little PEAS, presents a four-day exploration of sustainable farming and our food system. Here, the soil is a classroom, and the crops are the teachers. Campers are not merely visitors, but active participants in farm life. They learn not just how food is grown, but also how to transform the fruits of their labor into delicious, home-cooked meals. With a blend of outdoor fun and kitchen-based learning, Little PEAS summer camps offer children a glimpse into a world often overlooked, but vitally important. It's an adventure that enriches not just their summer, but their understanding of the world. The joy of watching a seed sprout, the satisfaction of cooking one's own meal—these are the memories they will carry home. In a world increasingly detached from nature, Little PEAS is a delightful reminder of our roots in the earth, and the joys of growth, harvest, and community.
