FARM & WILDERNESS FAIR

Experience the magic of community & creativity packed into one unforgettable day at F&W.

Camp magic abounds!

Farm & Wilderness Fair

The Fair is August 14, 2027

 *Advance sales for fair shirts, tickets, and Friend of Fair packages will open Mid June and close Aug. 11*


The F&W team is preparing for another summer of joyful play and outdoor adventure. Save the date to join us at Fair, a decades-long, end of camp tradition. Members from our local community join campers, alumni, and their families to  come together for a day of fun. Everyone is invited! We’ve got camper-run rides & games, local food, swimming, and a live-band contra dance. Plus, time to reminisce on the ol’ picnic-blanket. 

Over the years, we've hosted thousands of F&W community members for this much loved event. Please plan to join us as an attendee, supporter or both! 

Prepare for Fair

Get ready for a day of camp magic!

What's Happening!

For Families With Kids at Camp

Fair is a fun culminating event and a chance for you to visit with your camper, see what they've been up to, and get a taste of life at Farm & Wilderness. While attending Fair is optional, we strongly encourage you to come if you are able! About 1/3 of our Session 2 camper families attend fair, and there is plenty of fun for your camper to be had if you aren't able to attend! Here are a few key things to keep in mind: 

  • Fair is like a visiting day with your camper held at our Fairgrounds rather than at the camps. They will show you around, point out farm or fire-building skill demonstrations, and introduce you to friends and counselors. You’ll have a chance to swim in the same lake they do, join in a singalong of camp songs, and contra-dance together to a string band.
  • Campers do not depart camp with their families during or after Fair. They return to camp for one more special evening with their cabin group. This final night is an emotional and meaningful capstone to their session. Campers then return home with their families the following morning. 
  • Be prepared that your child may be excited to see you but also tired from the eventful day. They may be clingy or seem distracted. This is all normal as they navigate the many emotions of wrapping up their time at camp while being reunited with family. 
  • You are welcome to bring a picnic meal or snacks, and encouraged to bring a refillable water bottle. There will also be food available for purchase, with more specific menu information closer to the actual day of the event.
  • There is no parking on camp property for Fair. Shuttles will run throughout the day to transport visitors to and from auxiliary parking lots. Please be patient as there may be lines and wait times, especially during peak hours. Shuttles begin over an hour before Fair begins so be prepared to wait if you get there early. We appreciate your understanding!
  • There is no admission fee for Fair. We do charge for parking to cover the cost of renting auxiliary parking.   

We can't wait to welcome you to Farm & Wilderness and celebrate our campers' incredible accomplishments together. Get ready for a joyful, action-packed day! Please reach out with any questions as Fair approaches.
