What's new? We have payment plans for Summer Camp 2025!
Take your time paying for a magical summer camp. Divide your payment into three installments. The first is due at the time of registration. The second installment is due January 15, 2025, with the balance due on March 31, 2025. We will send you an invoice for each installment - no need to keep track of the dates.
​
What else is new? Make Summer Camp friends before summer begins!
​
Belle Vie Farm offers pre-summer camp gatherings for families registered for at least one week of camp. What is scarier than flinging across the BVF dirt slide zipline? Coming to camp on the first day and not knowing anyone! Yikes!
​
We feel you - we don't like going places we don't know anyone either. Our solution? On the dates listed below, BVF summer campers and their families can join us at the farm for "summer camp lite"! We'll have a sampling of activities and, of course, bunnies, bunnies and more bunnies! If the weather is friendly (i.e. colder than a boulder, as Shelley likes to say), we'll have a fire pit burning and s'mores waiting! The farm will welcome families from 10am-12pm each date below.

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.​
And, of course, Belle Vie is home to the infamous DIRT SLIDE, the 75-foot zip line and Rock Village's Climbing Web!
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! Photos and staff information coming soon!
​
