Whether you’re sending your little one to camp for the first time or trying to find the right place for your pre-teen, you want your child to beam when asked, “How did you spend last summer?”
Green Chimneys has a 70-year history of introducing youth to eye-opening experiences with animals, horticulture, and the great outdoors. With roots like this, it’s only natural that summer camps place an emphasis on animal & wildlife interaction and outdoor discovery.
From the self-esteem that grows from helping to care for an animal to increased awareness of environmental issues, we know the great things that come from connecting with the natural environment.

Donkeys Gracie and Reba have been residents of the farm since 1996 and are particularly valuable partners for the children because they offer immediate feedback on behavior. They are patient, shy and headstrong but because donkeys only acknowledge humans who appear calm, this pair helps children learn the skills necessary to approach them gently and quietly. Gracie and Reba also have an extraordinary bond and have difficulty being apart so students must keep this in mind, even for basic tasks such as walking them. If the donkeys lose sight of each other they will start calling to one another so students work together to make sure the pair can see each other for their entire journey outside.
