Welcome to Enrichment at Auerfarm

Enrichment at Auerfarm provides immersive, hands-on learning experiences for children aged 3 – 10 on our 120-acre farm, fostering curiosity, creativity, and connection to the natural world. We empower individuals to develop confidence, resilience, and a deep respect for the environment by engaging in agriculture, environmental education, and outdoor recreation.

Outdoor Connection

We are dedicated to preserving the land and promoting sustainable practices that ensure future generations can enjoy our natural world.

Growth & Confidence

We believe that time in nature builds character and confidence. Our programs encourage individuals to take on new challenges, explore their strengths, and grow through hands-on experiences.

Community & Belonging

We aim to create a nurturing community where people support one another, build friendships, and develop a sense of belonging.

Lifelong Learning

We foster a love for learning and curiosity, encouraging individuals to explore, ask questions, and embrace growth both within and beyond Auercamp.
