2025-Adult Day Camp Application

Adult Day Camp APPLICATION 2025

A Division of 3 Bluebirds Farm
We encourage the applicant to complete this form independently, as it helps us get to know their voice, interests, and goals directly. Support is welcome if needed, but responses should reflect the applicant’s own perspective.

Before continuing with this application please keep in mind that we operate on a working farm. We will often times be outside with our animals, working in the garden, and exposed to various allergens. If you have an extreme aversion to spending time outside, an extreme fear of animals, or extreme allergies, please think twice before continuing with this application.

Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance — this is a review-based application process, and all participants must meet our eligibility criteria.
