2025 Summer Camps

Mezzacello Urban Farm offers a wide variety of STEM-Focused and Career Exploration camps for kids aged 9-17.

These camps are all one week and there are options for camps in the morning, afternoon, or even full-day bundles.

The camps are all arranged around five themes: [ Click Here for ALL Available Dates ]

  1. Farming and Nutrition,

  2. Sustainability and Ecology,

  3. Invention and Engineering,

  4. Animals and Biotech,

  5. Renewable Energy.

If you have a student who is interested in any of these sign up for one of our affordable camps. Each camp is unique and features hands-on learning and problem-solving, on a real farm, with real-world technology, and farm animals.

Each camp ends with a presentation of learning written, shot and performed by a team that will be made available via a private link on youtube for parents.

Mezzacello Urban Farm’s Summer Camp Season has officially closed.

Thank you all for an amazing summer of fun and STEM exploration!

Public Speaking and Dynamic Presentations Programming

Every summer camp and workshop at Mezzacello Urban Farm requires a presentation of learning, which is built into the curriculum. With our new Narnia Presentation Stage and Hornbeam Allee Presentation Gallery, we’d like to offer workshops for young people to develop and practice public speaking skills.

If you have a kid who lacks confidence in teamwork, creativity, public speaking or presenting, this is a great workshop option.

Topics are chosen by students and the workshop uses the Design Cycle to help them design, build, test, modify, and share a presentation.

All Presentations will be live before an audience and will be filmed and shared via private link on YouTube.

$90 Ages 9-15 - Tuesday Evenings 4:00 - 6:00 Recurring

Leadership Academy

Every summer camp at Mezzacello Urban Farm is partially led and co-taught with a middle School-aged Mentern.

A MenTern is part Near-Peer or Peer-To-Peer Mentor to other kids and an Intern to Jim at Mezzacello Urban Farm.

These young people have been taught the basics of leadership, presentations, public speaking, confidence-boosting, character-building, conflict resolution, and community building in the online zoom curriculum here at Mezzacello Urban Farm via Mezzacello.org.

If you have a young leader who could use some pointers and experience with the talent and skill of leadership, consider signing them up for this 4-week, two-hours per session academy.

All lessons and presentations will be filmed and shared via private link on YouTube.
