Our Facilities

Belle Vie Farm Summer Camp takes place on 34 acres of farm and forest just 5 minutes from downtown Carrboro. During Summer Camp 2025, Belle Vie Farm's barn will finally be available for agritourism activities - growing microgreens, starting seeds for the garden, hatching duck eggs, and more! Belle Vie also uses Wildflower School's 1800 square foot facility (made from shipping containers!) during the summer. This space has a full kitchen, Light Studio, and Art Studio. Our camp also offers 25 acres of forest to explore, a half-acre pond filled with frogs, turtles and dragonfly nymphs, ephemeral streams for romping through, an outdoor water play area complete with a water tunnel, ramps, waterfalls, and a giant slip-and-slide.​

 

Our Staff

 

During Summer Camp 2025, our staff will be a mix of teachers from our school program and seasonal summer counselors. Our Summer Camp Director is Shelley, owner of Belle Vie Farm. More on our staffing to come as we complete hiring for the summer!

Campers are invited to explore our Art Studio and MakerSpace, a magical space filled with every artistic medium one could imagine: acrylics, watercolors, encaustic wax, pastels, Sharpie markers, colored crayons, a huge variety of papers, canvases and wood.
