SUMMER CAMPS

In 2026 we are planning ten summer camps ranging from exploring ecologies, working with farm animals, soil heath, growing food and feed for humans and animals and using robotics, automation, 3D printing, mechanical systems, and renewable energy systems.

Camps are week-long, all-day events that begin in June and end in August.

Mezzacello is a magical place. I have seen my child open up and do things that just a week ago would be impossible. And then to have them tell a crowd of strangers WITH a microphone why this is important. Stunning magic.
