Summer day camp at Whispering Hope Farm is a drop off camp for
your children. I, Sonya Somerville and my daughter, are the responsible adults
that are going to be around the children. We are the main ones who run all the
events and parties at Whispering Hope Farm (previously known as
HippityHopPartiesAndmore.com and then PonyAndBunnyParties.com). Parents, during
the drop off day camp, you are always welcome to drop in and observe what we are
doing. As you know with children they require 100% of our time and attention so
we will not be able to talk or it will disrupt the camp and we will need the
children’s attention so they can really experience the farm and the activities
we have planned. We will be totally focused on the 12 children. All I ask is
that for the consideration of the other parents and the children, that you
observe from a distance, not distract, and not join the group of 12 children.
Safety of the children is and always has been our number 1 priority. We are not
a big scale farm and do not have big tractors or other dangerous farm equipment
around.
Registration will be FREE until February 15, 2012. After that date,
registration will be $9 per child. Registering will help us plan if we need to
add additional weeks because we don’t want to turn a fun summer experience
away from any child.
