Q&A with Dairy Discovery
Got a signature activity or tradition everyone looks forward to each year?
Dairy Discovery Summer Cow Camps are packed with can’t-miss traditions that campers talk about long after summer ends and keep families coming back year after year!
Our most loved signature activities include caring for a calf, milking a cow, making butter, and making ice cream - all hands-on, all unforgettable. Campers don’t just watch… they do!
Campers arrive ready to pick out their calf and give them the perfect name while they care for it during their time at camp.
During butter and ice cream making, campers shake, stir, and laugh their way through delicious farm science. It’s hard work, exciting, and ends with a tasty reward, always a highlight of the week!
These activities turn everyday foods into exciting discoveries and help kids truly understand where their food comes from.
These experiences are more than traditions, they’re the heart of camp.
Parents love seeing their kids gain confidence, curiosity, and a deeper connection to food, while campers love the animals, the hands-on fun, and the unforgettable memories.
It’s no surprise these activities are what campers ask about first, and why spots fill up fast every summer.
If your child loves animals, being outdoors, and learning through fun, Dairy Discovery Summer Cow Camp is the place to be.
Spots are limited, sign up now and let your child milk a cow, make ice cream, and experience summer on the farm!
What’s the biggest “wow” moment for campers each summer?
The biggest WOW! moment of Dairy Discovery Summer Cow Camp is hands down our Calf Show, held every Thursday of Cow Camp, and it’s just as exciting for families as it is for campers!
Throughout the week, campers work closely with their very own calf, learning how to care for, feed, and handle them with confidence.
By Thursday, all that hard work pays off in the Calf Show, where kids proudly step into the spotlight to show their calf to family and friends.
This isn’t just a show - it’s a celebration. Campers demonstrate responsibility, teamwork, and new farm skills, while families get a front-row seat to see how much their child has grown in just a few days.
Afterwards, we all join together for an awards show and ice cream to end the week!
If you’re looking for a summer camp that builds skills, confidence, and unforgettable experiences, the Calf Show is proof that Dairy Discovery Cow Camp delivers something truly special.
Join us this summer and cheer on your camper as they proudly show off their calf. It’s a moment you won’t want to MOOOOss!
