Located in Amagansett, Long Island, Amber Waves Farm is home to Our Sons and Daughters Summer Farm Program, an interactive learning camp that teaches children of all ages how to tend the land and enjoy the great outdoors.
Using the Waldorf model of learning as a guide, Our Sons and Daughters posits free play in a natural environment as an essential part of childhood development.
Our Sons and Daughters uses only natural products, like wood, for their toys. Toys are available during free play.
Natural outdoor structures encourage creative interaction with the environment.
Freshly-picked flowers and farm-grown produce abound at Our Sons and Daughters Summer Program.
The outdoor kitchen is crowded with organic, fresh produce, all of which is grown on the farm.
Flowers are gathered from the grounds for the flower pressing project.
Children create flower press crafts, engaging with the different colors and shapes available to them in the surrounding environment.
Completed flower presses for children to bring home.
A sprinkler brings welcome relief on a hot day.
When washing hands, Our Sons and Daughters avoids harsh chemicals– after all, a little bit of dirt doesn’t hurt.
Fresh vegetables are always on the menu at snack time.
Farm-to-table cuisine is a given and is always delicious.
Children enjoy the farm’s own as a snack: mozzarella and bread made earlier that morning, freshly picked Italian plums, and kale.
Everyone helps with the snack’s preparation and clean up.
Our Sons and Daughters Summer Program takes place at the organic Amber Waves Farm in Amagansett, Long Island. For more information, go to their website.
