After School on the Farm is an enrichment program that invites youth ages 4-10  to spend their afternoons in the great outdoors. Children of all abilities and backgrounds will learn what happens at a regenerative, organic farm that is guided by Jewish values and get their hands in the soil to explore where their food comes from. 

After School on the Farm Session Schedule 

COST: 

Thank you for your interest in our After School and Farm Camp Programs! At this time, Coastal Roots Farm does not have scholarship funds available for After School on the Farm. We invite you to submit a scholarship support request here to be added to our waitlist for scholarship support.

We are pleased to offer multi-session and sibling discounts

After School on the Farm sessions are contingent upon sufficient youth sign-ups. In the event of cancellation by the Farm, registrants will be refunded.  

All other cancellations, including unsafe weather events, unattended days, and cancellations by families are ineligible for refunds.  

After School on the Farm operates on Mondays and Wednesdays. We do not offer prorated or custom payment plans at this time. 

All registrations must be finalized no later than the Thursday before the start of a new session of After School on the Farm. If you register for a single session, you will NOT be automatically enrolled for subsequent sessions and will be required to reregister for the next session. You will be required to register for all sessions your child plans to attend. If your child is not registered by the Thursday before the start of a new session, they will be unable to attend the following Monday.

You can sign up for After School on the Farm at any time. However, we do not offer prorated rates for mid-session sign-ups. 

During After School on the Farm, youth will: 

• Participate in open-ended play and exploration on the Farm. 
• Harvest and taste farm-fresh produce. 
• Care for the Farm’s education spaces by planting, weeding, harvesting, learning about how plants grow, and supporting the care of the chickens. 
• Explore the connection between people and nature as guided by Jewish values.  
• Have fun making friends and building connections in our unique outdoor learning spaces.

Before care is available from 1-2pm for an additional cost.

You are welcome to drop off and pick up any time between 2:00-5:00pm. Late pick-ups will result in a late fee of $1 per minute for every child that stays after 5:00pm.
