Homestead Heroes Summer Camp x Apogee Lockhart

Join us for Homestead Heroes Summer Camp, a two-week adventure where kids explore the art of homesteading while enjoying the best of summertime fun! Campers will get hands-on experience in self-sufficiency—learning skills like food preservation, making herbal medicines and products, buckskin crafting, and survival skills. By the end of camp, they’ll bring home handcrafted goods and food to share with their families.

Kids will cool off in cowboy pools, slip n slide, play pickleball, sand volleyball, and gaga ball, and enjoy plenty of outdoor adventures. Homestead Heroes Summer Camp is the perfect blend of learning, creativity, and play, leaving campers with valuable life skills, confidence, and unforgettable summer memories!

This camp is the perfect sneak peek into what Apogee Lockhart has in store as we prepare for our grand opening in September 2025. Come get a taste of self-sufficient living and kickstart your homesteading journey with us!
