Our Mission
The Youth Garden Project cultivates healthy children, families, and community through educational programs and connecting people with food from seed to table.
The food we grow informs and inspires our educational practice, and also nourishes our community! Find out where the food from our 1.5 acre garden ends up.
We use the garden as a cross-disciplinary learning tool that connects kids to the environment and our local food system! Learn more about our youth programming.
Gardening not only builds soil, it also builds community! A garden nurtures many forms of connection. Learn how you can be a part of our community at the youth garden.
Upcoming Events and Opportunities
2025 Summer Camp Registration is open!
YGP offers nine weeks of camp during Grand County School District’s summer break.
Each week of camp has a different theme, so you can sign your camper(s) up for just one week, or all nine! Camp is open to rising 1st through 6th graders.
We also offer two weeks of Expedition Day Camps, in partnership with Canyonlands Field Institute, for rising 4th-6th graders. During these weeks, campers will meet at YGP, then leave for off-site excursions with CFI.
Tuition is $260/week per camper. Sliding scale tuition assistance is available; all families are encouraged to apply.
