This program, for students 12 or older, serves as a first work experience for many youth participants. There are three apprenticeship programs to choose from: Counselors in Training, Farm Hands, or Market Gardeners.

Counselors in Training (CITs) will assist Farmer/Teachers in all aspects of camp operations and will learn about responsibility, leadership, and the satisfaction that accompanies a job well done. CITs are an integral part of the success of our camp and we are able to give community service credit for students who participate in this program.

Farm Hands will assist TFI farm staff in all aspects of farm operations including livestock, pasture, and equipment and facility maintenance.

Market Gardeners assist in our production garden with planting, cultivating, harvesting and selling at the Saturday Farmers Market in West Tisbury.

We will be accepting a limited number of apprentices this summer. Please contact the Summer Programs Director for more information.
