Our Kids Summer Workshops offer fun, educational and affordable opportunities for kids & their families to get outside!  Beginning on June 17th, we will be hosting informative & affordable Kids Summer Workshops every Thursday (new day this year). With topics ranging from pollinators, pigs, chickens, cows, root vegetables, worms, rabbits, edible roots, ducks, sheep & guinea pigs, you'll find something every week! 

Our kids workshops are designed for kids, ages 3-10 with adult supervision,  to be outside, interacting & playing while learning.  Each workshop has two times each week for your convenience. The cost is $1 per child, no registration is needed.

Grab some lunch in our deli or at Big Dan’s BBQ and hang around and enjoy the outside after workshop! Our Kids Garden has new features this season.   Questions? call (570) 356-2597 or email rohrbachs.events@gmail.com
