2026 Farm Animal Caregiver Learning Program - Non-refundable Deposit

$55.00

NEW!

August 10th - 14th (Monday - Friday) | 9:30 - 11:30 each day.
For your convenience, drop-off begins at 9am.

This new program is designed for children entering 6th - 9th grade. Each day of the 5 day program, will focus on a different farm breed living at Dalby Farm. Every day will begin with a learning session so that the child has a greater understanding of the ‘focus animal of the day’.

From there the caregiving will begin. There will be options ranging from washing dishes/buckets to being in the stall sweeping/scraping the animal living areas. We offer different levels of ‘hands on’ so that the child can decide how in depth they would like to be.

Program Fee: $195 per child |
Due today: $50 non-refundable deposit (+ $5 processing fee, not counted toward the program fee balance of $145 due by JUNE 30th, 2026)

Once the cleaning and set up is complete, we will finish our day by picking up after ourselves. It is very important to not only do the vartious tasks but also, to be sure the tools are returned to where they belong and that the gator is emptied and ready for the next job!

Of course, animal socilization is always encouraged and time allowing, children will finish their day spending some time with our animal friends!

The program will be running from August 10th - 14th (Monday - Friday) and will be held from 9:30 - 11:30 each day. For your convenience, drop-off begins at 9am. Please wear seasonally appropriate clothing that can get dirty and please be in boots. We recommend, however, that each participant order a Dalby Farm T-shirt that they can wear each day during the program. Ordering information can be found on the registration paperwork. Be sure to bring your water bottle!

Program cost is $195.00 per participant.
