Afterschool at Auerfarm 

On Wednesdays, Auerfarm hosts an after-school S.T.E.M. club specifically designed for students in grades K-6. Running from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM, this program offers a unique opportunity for children to explore the expansive 120-acre farm, where they can learn about various animals and develop essential outdoor skills through hands-on experiences with the farm's resources.

During these sessions, students participate in a variety of activities that may include fishing in the stream, building structures in the play forest, and engaging in art projects that connect them with nature. These experiences not only help children acquire new skills but also foster their confidence, creativity, and curiosity about the world around them. Led by a passionate farm educator, participants engage in small group activities that emphasize social-emotional learning, cooperation, and respect for the environment.

The curriculum is designed to challenge students while encouraging them to explore their interests and express themselves freely. As they interact with the natural surroundings, they cultivate a deeper connection to the environment and gain valuable insights into sustainable practices. Auerfarm's commitment to nurturing young minds ensures that every child leaves with a sense of accomplishment and a greater appreciation for agriculture and nature. This enrichment program not only enhances academic learning but also supports emotional growth, making it a vital part of Auerfarm's educational offerings.
