Welcome to Auercamp
Auercamp provides immersive, hands-on learning experiences on our 120-acre farm, fostering curiosity, creativity, and connection to the natural world. Through engaging activities in agriculture, environmental education, and outdoor recreation, we empower individuals to develop confidence, resilience, and a deep respect for the environment.
WHAT WE DO
Each day our campers spend as much time as possible outdoors in the barns, gardens, play forest, stream, trails, fields, and more.
Auercamp follows a S.T.E.A.M. curriculum and focuses on exploring science, the arts, and nature while incorporating typical day camp elements such as sports, games, and expressive arts.
Below are some favorite activities though there are many more programs to enjoy at Auercamp!
