Vacation Day Camp

Gilsland Farm Audubon Center (Falmouth)

Vacation Day Camp during school-vacation weeks in February and April gives children in grades 1-5 the chance to enjoy different daylong sessions.

Each day features a different focus or theme, as children join appropriate age groups to explore Gilsland Farm's 65 acres of meadows and woods and to do activities and crafts.

Campers may sign up for individual days or the entire week.
