The day begins with a warm introduction to Vaksana Farms, where families learn about our farming journey, our deep-rooted history, and our commitment to growing clean, organic food. We also share our love for farm animals and how every living being on the farm plays an important role in creating a balanced ecosystem. This helps children understand that farming is not just work — it is a way of life built on care, patience, and respect for nature.
One of the most exciting parts of the camp is the mud pool experience. Under the summer sun, children jump into the refreshing mud pool, laugh freely, and enjoy a cooling bath under the gushing pump set water. It is a moment of pure happiness where they forget screens and schedules and simply enjoy being children. Watching their joy reminds parents of the beauty of simple pleasures.
The adventure continues with a thrilling tractor ride across the farm. It may be a little bumpy, but that only adds to the fun. As families ride through the green fields, they get to see the vast beauty of the farmland and understand how crops are grown and cared for.
To refresh themselves, guests are served natural juices made from hibiscus flowers and blue pea flowers. These colorful, healthy drinks introduce children to the idea that nature provides delicious and nutritious alternatives to packaged beverages.
A walk through our dense casuarina forest is both peaceful and educational. Children learn how these trees are used for making paper and why trees are so valuable for our environment. It becomes a lesson in sustainability and respect for natural resources.
Animal interactions are another highlight of the camp. Children help mix feed for cows and watch them eat happily. They also feed camels, observe their unique foot patterns, and are amazed by how fast they can run. Ducks and geese are released from the coop, and children lovingly guide tiny ducklings to their favorite pond while learning fascinating facts about birds and animal behavior.
Traditional village games bring another layer of excitement. Kids and parents together enjoy playing Bambaram and Pallanguli, learning games that have entertained generations before mobile phones existed. These moments create laughter, teamwork, and a beautiful connection between generations.
Families also participate in fun hay rolling races, pushing giant hay rolls and climbing on haystacks. These simple yet joyful activities create unforgettable memories and encourage teamwork between parents and children.
Food at Vaksana Farms is always a special highlight. Guests enjoy a delicious village-style vegetarian feast prepared by the legendary Kasturi Amma. Every dish is made with fresh vegetables and greens harvested directly from the farm, bringing authentic taste and nourishment to the table.
The day ends with a meaningful activity — each child plants a sapling in their own name. This small act leaves behind a living memory of their time at the farm and teaches them the importance of giving back to nature.
At Vaksana Farms, Farm Camp is more than entertainment. It gives children confidence, curiosity, real-world learning, and valuable bonding time with their parents. It is a place where families reconnect with nature, with tradition, and with each other.
Because sometimes, the best classroom is the farm itself.
