The students at EMCC summer camp 2025 enjoyed planting, tending, and harvesting their own garden. We grew produce such as peppers, tomatoes, herbs, and pumpkins, and also enjoyed the strawberries, raspberries, and apple trees that have been growing in the EMCC garden for years. EMCC hosted a community meal in September using produce from the garden.
Teens (ages 11-17): Tuesday & Thursday 5:30 pm – 8 p.m.
