Sowing Seeds Summer Camp – July

Description

Get ready to step into the rhythm of real farm life this summer at Redemption Springs. Sowing Seeds is more than a summer camp—it’s an immersive, boots-on-the-ground experience where faith, hard work, and the land come together in unforgettable ways.

Trade the classroom for open fields, busy barns, and the pulse of a working farm. Spend your days moving livestock, working the soil, learning the science of agronomy, and discovering how the lessons of the harvest echo the truths of Scripture. From the first feed bucket in the morning to the final evening recap, campers won’t just hear about these principles—they’ll live them.

When: July 13-17

🚜 The Real Deal

Expect the Dirt: This is authentic farm work. You’ll be out in the fields, in the barn, and alongside livestock every single day. Come ready to sweat, work hard, and leave with dirt on your boots and stories to tell. Bring a change of clothes for the ride home—you’ll need it.

Life on the Farm: Between hands-on farm work, campers will dive into group challenges, yard games, and time together around the barn.

The Daily Rhythm: Each morning begins with instruction and practical learning before heading out for immersive farm activities. Afternoons bring reflection, teaching, and guy/girl breakout sessions that connect the lessons of the farm to real life and faith.

🐑 Livestock & Agronomy

At Sowing Seeds, campers won’t just observe our heritage breeds—they’ll work directly with them and learn what it takes to care for thriving animals and healthy land. You’ll spend time alongside:
