Learn about ecology, agriculture, and biology (STEM) up-close on an urban farm that uses organic methods! Experienced urban farmer Marcus Domingo will teach hands-on organic urban farming methods, including seed starting in the greenhouse, the importance of beneficial insects such as bees and butterflies, and planting and harvesting techniques, sustainability topics and more.

Teens may choose to attend for 1 day or all 8 weeks. Camp is 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Teens can arrive any time after 8 a.m. and may stay as late as 1 p.m.

 Drop in for one day any time with proof of vaccination and parent-signed liability waiver.

 Camp will take place in-person at our CoCo San Sustainable Farm, vaccination required.

 We are a 15-acre charity farm in Martinez, CA that uses sustainable, organic practices to grow and donate produce to the food bank and schools to feed families in need (77,000 pounds donated so far!).

 Diablo Valley College Horticulture Professor Bethallyn Black will also teach some lessons.

 Youth will take some fresh veggies home to their families. We will donate the rest of the produce to charity.
