What People Are Saying
“My girls did summer camp at SRF and loved it! They learned about animals and nature, developed independence, practiced mindfulness, and inspired a curiosoty for the world around them. We are counting down the days until they return to the farm this summer!”
— The Ciampa Family
“Our children both had a dream summer with Adam and Insaf and everyone at Shoccoree. Their days were filled with nature, hikes, swimming, relaxation, and most of all pure fun with an amazing group of kids and adults. Every day they were excited to go and every afternoon at pickup they were peacefully exhausted and full of wonderful stories of the day’s adventures. I was more jealous than anything else as a parent, and was so happy to be able to give my kids that pure outdoors experience.”
— The Woods Family
“Our daughter had an amazing time last summer with both Adam and Insaf at “Wilderness Camp” as she refers to it. Our daughter, who is naturally shy, really came out of her elements by the guidance of Adam and Insaf with the exploration of the outdoors. Whether it was jumping in and out of small creeks, learning how to make fire, tracking small animals or going on fun hikes, she had an absolute blast!”
— The Chacos Family
“My kids are insisting they spend the whole summer at Shocorree Ridge Farm! They just had the most amazing summer last summer and here we are a year later and they can’t stop talking about it. As a parent, I also appreciate the skill sets they learned around fishing, hiking, and being in the woods.”
— The Hall Family
