Edu Camp Farm

About this tour

The Edu Camp Farm school tour, at Olifantsfontein near Irene in Centurion, Gauteng, is a CAPS-aligned Agriculture and Natural Sciences excursion designed specifically for Grade R–4 learners. The programme is broken into age-tailored sessions so younger learners get exactly what they need to engage and learn.

Days include arena shows with farm animals, hands-on visits to the poultry section, and small-group lessons on dairy, livestock and basic farm science. The friendly setting, gentle pace and experienced farm educators make it ideal for first-time excursions and Foundation-phase outings.

Educational programme highlights include:

• Aquaponics and Nutrition — Greenhouse tour with explanation of organic processes, plus interaction with fish and plants, and learning about the food pyramid. • Worm Farms — Demonstration on creating a worm farm box and searching for worms in beds. • Recycling Process — Educational slideshow and demonstration on recycling processes, with hands-on participation, viewing and sorting products. • Lavender — Growing your own herbs and using them in meals, adding spices and oils in the making of different products, and learning about nature's natural medicine. • Tarantulas — Learn and see all about this fascinating hobby.
