They learn through immersion with their specials teachers guiding the children in the same way. Our children spend most of their days in school, so it is important they are able to connect with Nature during this time and at PHS they surely do. Their farm and garden staff is fantastic and children learn compassion and responsibility, while strengthening their will power, through caring for their beloved farm animals. Their verses teach them reverence. Bird counting encourages observation. Planting seeds, growing flowers, and food shows them how to care for themselves and the Earth. All learning is age appropriate and really looks at where children are developmentally and how they can be fully nourished, body, soul, and spirit. My son is currently in first grade and has truly found happiness here. Everyday he wakes up dawn's first light, dresses himself, and is eager to go to school. When I ask him if there was anything not so great about his day, he replies "No, the whole day was GREAT!" We have had superb communication with his teacher and the whole faculty. Our son is truly seen and cared for individually in this beautiful, nurturing community.

A week-long sleep-away program in a beautiful camp location, YEA is designed to be a fun and transformative experience that builds life-long friendships between youth with similar interests in bettering their community and society. At YEA, campers choose an issue of importance to them (for example, some have chosen climate change, racism, homophobia, homelessness, or animal rights) and they build the knowledge, skills, confidence, and community to take action on that issue once they get home. Youth who have participated in our programs report that the camp was one of the most fun, memorable and life-changing experiences they have ever had.

We go up this time... no horses, new fence, one barn is missing and all I see are sheep. What the frig Ricky?! So I search for other farms and find Lucky C Stables. We randomly drive to this place and just ask out the window if we could feed some horses... to our surprise we were met with smiling faces and even given a tour of the barns!! It was so enjoyable and we met, pet and fed so many cool horse buddies, that I would love to come back and book a trail ride or lesson next time I am around.

I'm trying to think of something "negative" to say about the farm and can't think of anything. I mean they even donate lots of vegetables to low income families! How can you go wrong?

We sent our daughter (age 12) last summer and she won't be going back. There's a massive lack of…read moresupervision, some of the teen counselors are great and some completely ignore the kids and are there to socialize so it's just luck of the draw. Biggest problem is that the area is crawling with ticks (and lyme disease) and the Frost Valley doesn't seem to take any precautions - aside from our daughter being reminded once or twice at bedtime to do a tick check. The kids go on an overnight campout where they hike through tall grass and then camp outdoors in tall grass - against all Department of Health guidelines. Not recommended. I see another parent had the same issue as well, which inspired me to write this review as well.

They sent 9-year-olds camping in woods during thunderstorms without tick repellent or education about risks. The camp's family handbook contains no tick/Lyme disease information - inexcusable for a camp in a high-risk area. Medical response was slow (6+ hour delay) and medication was mismanaged. Management refused any refund for sessions missed due to the medical condition acquired at their camp. Three families in our group reported similar operational issues with unresponsive counselors.

Also, since it's a farm we expected dirt and dust, that's part of the fun! But on several occasions when visiting the farmhouse to use the bathroom, we found it to be very dirty with hanging strips of dead flies, spiders in the open window, and unclean hand towels hanging up that looked like they had not been cleaned in weeks with no access to paper towels. We also noticed during an after school event where food was served that a chicken walked up and ate off the same salad bowel that was being served to people. I hope they fix these issues and really turn it around soon. It's a shame it's gotten like this.

He got us dancing all night, and even helped us as the emcee of the night.
