A Bit About Boot Camp:
Boot camp attendees become a member of our farm crew. Whatever we do, so do our campers—every morning, rain or shine. At our farm, routine care always gets done in the morning: clean-up, feeding, nail trimmings, medications, special care that might be needed. And in the summer, especially during the months of boot camp, we breed our own females and several females from and for other farms. And for even more fun we birth baby alpacas (crias), and take special care of new moms and their crias. And of course, we have vet visits, and who knows what else. Every day brings new adventures.
Campers will see and do a lot—all with our hands-on guidance and learning.
