CREATE & CULTIVATE FARM CAMP: gives children an opportunity to learn about sustainable agriculture, farm animals, nature, environmental preservation, and the arts as it relates to different Asian countries (China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, and Indonesia). Please see http://www.hmcf.org (Create & Cultivate Farm Camp section)

THE HARVEST CAMP - this is a Christian camp that focuses on how children can take care of one another – whether it is themselves, their friends, neighbors, the community, children in other parts of the world, or the earth. Together, children who are part of The Harvest Camp make the world a better place through their actions. Their time at camp ensures that others – from children to seniors – are cared for and loved. An important part of this camp is the community service component. Children will be creating art kits and assembling bags of warm clothing for Harvest Moon's Executive Director to take to a Chinese orphanage in October 2003 when she adopts her second daughter from China. In addition, the children are raising money to sponsor a nanny (or nannies - depending on how much money is raised) who will rock children in a Chinese orphanage. The funds will be donated to Half the Sky Foundation who will assign a nanny to Harvest Moon's campers. Please see http://www.hmcf.org (The Harvest Camp section)
