On the island, they will enjoy lunch, games, water mats, a fishing station, kayaking, and more.

Drop off 8am pick up 6pm

12 kid camp.

most bring lunch, change of clothes, towel, sunscreen, and bug spray.

Our long-time employee, navy corpsman, and Pennsylvania born farmer, David Getz, will be the Camp Lead at Farm Camp. The days at Farm Camp will consist of: a day of learning about livestock, a day of archery and roping, a day of gardening and harvesting, a day of pedaling in a four-seater go-cart around our extensive trails, and a day of what the campers choose to do.

The cost of this camp will be $300 per child per week.

The purpose of this camp will be to give kids a hands-on experience and a glimpse of traditional agriculture and animal husbandry here in North Carolina.

Any camp at Pogie's is always fun, and just like our traditional water camp, there will be plenty of fun and games going on throughout the day, with a major focus on educating with hands-on learning. Campers, if they would like, are able to take home a variety of plants, produce, eggs, and other farm goodies such as goat milk soaps that are included in the price of the week-long camp.

You may be thinking this is far-fetched from the 'on the water' Pogie's you've grown to know, but in fact before he started Pogie's, our owner Ethan owned and operated a traditional farm where he practiced farming, and achevied an AWA(Animal Welfare Approved) certification for his livestock side of things. Ethan's background and David's 18+ years of farming experience provides us the ability to offer this unique opportunity to your kids. description
