Frequently Asked Questions

What is your refund policy?

Refunds (minus a $100 deposit) may be issued up to three weeks before the start date of camp. Refunds are not available for cancellations with less than three weeks’ notice, as we pay for staff and materials up-front. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].

My child is just under the age for camp, will you make an exception?

Our camps are intensive and designed around K-12 Minnesota Education Standards specific to our curriculum and theme based camps. That being said, if you feel your child would thrive at one of our day camps, but falls outside the suggested age range of campers, please contact our Executive Director, T.J. Malaskee at [email protected] to discuss options and exceptions!

My child has attended a Bruentrup Heritage Farm Day Camp in the past and loved it! Will there be anything new this year?

There’s always something new at the Bruentrup Heritage Farm! While many of our core components of curriculum based programming during camps are similar, activities and projects will vary from year to year and even week to week!

Is lunch provided?

Campers should bring their own lunch daily. MAHS provides a morning and afternoon snack and there are often fruits or vegetables from our heirloom gardens and orchard to munch on!
