Welcome to the Outdoor Adventures at Brooksby Farmfishing
A quality summer experience is much more than running around outdoors and going home tired...it's a chance for your child to discover new adventures, grow personally, make new friends and memories, in a fun and safe environment. We strive to give your child the best experience! 


Each session is devoted to the assigned theme and participants will complete different crafts, activities, games, and challenges related to the theme each day. Other parts of the day will be spent doing activities that may include, but not limited to: orienteering/hiking, team building, archery, fishing and more!
