All weeks include a ton of one-on-one time with farm animals, gardening, crafting, hiking, creek adventures, songs, games, and more! Campers usually make unusual crafts using natural materials and techniques that follow the weekly themes. The farm camp is split into four age groups to offer age-appropriate activities, stories, creative projects, and learning opportunities (see Sprouts Camp for kids ages 3-4). Each group has its own indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing flexibility and ease in adapting to the day’s rhythm to suit the children’s needs.
Camp Director Heidi Watkins, a mother of three and educator, is on the farm at all times and is intimately involved in every aspect of running the camp and engaging the children at Sun Star Farm. Before and aftercare are available. Early care starts at 8am and is $35/week. Aftercare runs from 3pm-5:30pm and is $125/week.
A monthly payment plan is available at checkout. Pay only a $75 non-refundable deposit now to secure your spot. Transfer, Cancellation, and Refund Policy is here. Multi-week and sibling discounts are automatically applied to your order at checkout. (5% discount for the 2nd+ child or 2nd+ week).
AGE GROUPS

Oaks are the “big kids” ages 9-12. Based at the cozy log cabin, campers care for and learn about the animals, go creek stomping, and explore at the pond! Your child will also shoot bows and arrows, cook over campfires, and play fun group games. The cost for Oaks is $499/week.
Saplings are kids ages 6-8. Based at the main farmyard, Saplings have loads of animal time and exploration. The schedule also includes fun group games, water games, and creek stomping. The cost for Saplings is $485/week.
Seedlings are kids ages 4-5. Based at the main farmyard, Seedlings take care of animals in the shade, get drenched during water play, eagerly dig for treasures, and have plenty of space to run wild as their imaginations soar. The schedule also includes creek adventures and picnics in the shady forest. The cost for Seedlings is $485/week.

Forest Tinkering Camp
2026-07-02 08:30 - 15:00 | Sun Star Farm, 2092 Marthas Chapel Road, Apex, NC, 27523, United States
Forest Tinkering Camp at Sun Star Farm is a small group of 12 campers led by 2 counselors. Forest Tinkering Camp is very different from Tinkering School’s format. Campers spend most of the day in the forest based in the camp’s new shelter, learning and developing a variety of outdoor skills: flint-knapping to make arrowheads, chopping wood for daily campfires used for cooking, gathering native plants, making fishing nets, building a water filtration system, whittling sticks into tools, improving in archery, and telling stories of yesteryear. As for projects, they will be mostly individual. Campers will need a certain level of maturity and be able to follow instructions to work and play safely in this environment.
They save 4 spots for girls during the registration period, so they end up with a nice ratio of boys to girls. If any of the “girl” spots are not taken by March 1st, they open them to boys on the waitlist. There is a 6:1 counselor-to-camper ratio. This camp is for children ages 9-12.
Camp is $499/week. Early care starts at 8am and is $35/week. Aftercare runs from 3pm-5:30pm and is $125/week. A monthly payment plan is available at checkout. Pay only a $75 non-refundable deposit now to secure your spot. Transfer, Cancellation, and Refund Policy is here. Multi-week and sibling discounts are automatically applied to your order at checkout.

Tinkering School NC
2026-07-02 08:30 - 15:00 | Sun Star Farm, 2092 Marthas Chapel Road, Apex, NC, 27523, United States
Tinkering School NC at Sun Star Farm is a small group of 12 campers led by 2 counselors and a 3rd counselor during peak building times. Once they cover skills and safety, campers collaborate to create an awesome large-scale project based on a theme chosen late Monday/Tuesday morning, depending on skill level, interest, and weather conditions. They use impact drivers, cordless drills, levels, measuring tapes, and other basic carpentry hand tools. Each camper is given safety glasses and ear muff hearing protection. Every day, they mix in group games, visit farm animals, explore the farm, play water games, and go down the water slide to keep cool.
They save 4 spots for girls during the registration period, so they end up with a nice ratio of boys to girls. If any of the “girl” spots are not taken by March 1st, they open them to boys on the waitlist. There is a 6:1 counselor-to-camper ratio. This camp is for children ages 9-12.
