YOUTH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

YLD II • JUNE 16-19 

YLD • JULY 7 - 10

The Moonwater Farm Youth Leadership Development training is a week of skills building and team collaboration to support young people (14 and older) in developing and showcasing their leadership skills.

​

Upon successful completion of the CIT Training program youth may have the opportunity to use these leadership skills as youth leaders at Farm Camp. If selected, they will provide mentorship, support and leadership to younger campers for other weeks of Farm Camp and receive a stipend.

CITY FARMING

JULY 20 -24

On a beautiful urban farm, young people will explore amongst groves of fruit trees, natural herb patches, and a chicken coop. They will learn to care for goats, get to know the farm’s bunnies and vegetable patches, and experience a pond ecosystem. On top of learning farming and Earth care skills, they will also build community with one another, practice teamwork, get creative with many different art forms, and play fun games!

​

Sample Animal Week Sessions Include:

• Milking and tending goats

• Planting vegetable beds

• Making compost with worms 

• Caring for chickens and rabbits
  
   

NOISES IN NATURE

JULY 27 -31

This week we dive into the exploration of sound and words. Through the noises of nature and the vibration of words, we will make instruments and use our voices to share our stories of truth and fantasy. This week is all about using sound, creative writing, and storytelling. 

Past Guest instructors include: 

• Capoeira Pasadena 

• Altadena African Drumming - Village Drums 

• Spoken Word Artists
