What You Will Need to Run a Summer Program

Licensing: Camp licensing is very thorough. Go to this site for more information. When starting, we recommend partnering with a local group who already has licensing and insurance. For example, your local Parks and Recreation. Personnel: People to plan and implement the program. Knowledge of gardening helpful but more important, a willingness to learn about how to teach gardening. Lessons: Edible Schoolyard, LifeLab, etc/ Also, listen to your garden.
