In 2026 Wabash is kicking off some special programs for kids in the community, including our “Bee’s Knees Junior Farm & Garden Summer Camp” and Fall School Field Trips.
Bee’s Knees Junior Farm & Garden Summer Camp
We are excited to offer a half-day camp for kids entering 3rd through 5th Grades in Fall 2026 with a focus on urban homesteading: gardening to grow food, supporting pollinators and raising backyard chickens.

Wabash’s inaugural Bee’s Knees Junior Farm & Garden Summer Camp is designed with hands-on activities that encourage students to explore the world of gardening, urban homesteading and agriculture.
