Experience Summer Fun at Maybury Farm

Maybury Farm Summer Camp and Mom & Tot Day continue to bring animal-loving children to the farm for fun summer activities.

Maybury Farm continues to stay busy during the summer, offering many activities for children, including Maybury Farm Summer Camp and Mom & Tot Day.

Maybury Farm Summer Camp is every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., allowing kids who love animals to experience life on the farm firsthand. 

The Maybury Farm Summer Camp gives campers the chance to feed and groom animals, as well as take them on walks.  The children also go on hikes together, learn arts and crafts, and play with water balloons.  They are served a snack in the morning and bring a bagged lunch to enjoy in the afternoon.  Rain or shine, the camp still takes place.
