Welcome to Camp Gateway, where adventure meets education in Plymouth, Michigan!

Join us for a week of exploration and discovery as we delve into the wonders of sustainable farming on our organic farm. Designed for children ages 9-13, our camp offers a unique opportunity for young minds to connect with nature, learn valuable life skills, and make lasting memories.

From Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 12:00pm, campers will embark on a journey of creativity and learning. Guided by experienced instructors, they'll use the fruits, flowers, and natural elements harvested from our farm to create delicious dishes and beautiful crafts. Through hands-on activities, they'll gain an understanding of permaculture principles and the importance of sustainable farming practices.

But our camp is more than just a culinary and artistic adventure. Campers will also dive into the rich history of our land, exploring the stories of the people who have called it home throughout the ages. They'll develop friendships with fellow campers who share their curiosity and love for the outdoors.

This camp will be an excellent addition to your summer calendar if your child loves being outside, collaborating with their peers, is creative, curious, and interested in learning new life skills. At Camp Gateway, your child will not only have fun but also grow and thrive in a nurturing and inspiring environment.


Sign up today and give your child an experience they'll cherish for years to come. Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot now!
