We have horses, sheep, chickens, dogs, cats and tons of wildlife to interact with. We have a 4' deep above ground pool the kids will have access to at all times. We'll have a bonfire with hot dogs & s'mores in the evening. There are trails to hike, bike and ride horses on and a gaga ball pit, soccer goal, kayak and more.
Sleeping arrangements will be co-ed tent camping on mown grass weather permitting. Otherwise, floor camping in our home. There are plenty of bathrooms for privacy as needed. Let us know if you have any allergies, medicines, or special needs we should know about.

If you're driving to the farm, your GPS will bring you to the end of the driveway, but you won't see the house yet. Turn right onto the gravel drive and follow it 1/3 mile further to get to the house.

Take 264 West to 664.
Take the I-664 exit toward US-13/US-58/US-460/Bowers Hill/Suffolk/Richmond
Take exit 13A-13B for US-13 N/US-58 E/Military Highway toward US-460 E/VA-191 N/Suffolk and continue to follow signs for 460W.

Take the Exit for 460W toward Petersburg, drive about 15 miles on 460.
Take a left onto Zuni Circle.
Go under the overpass and turn Right onto State Rd 614 (Thomas Woods Trail which becomes Seacock Chapel Rd).
Follow the road for about 6 miles, and our driveway is on the Right.
If you get to Corinth Rd, you went too far. Turn around and it'll be on your left.
Permission
Because we live on a working farm, and the kids will be doing all sorts of fun things including horseback riding, campfires, and swimming, we do ask that parents sign a permission form allowing kids to come and participate. Please note that we require helmets to be worn for horseback riding and bike riding (we provide helmets for horseback riding). Please feel free to bring bikes, bows, kites, and sports equipment to use while on the farm.
Let us know if you have any questions, and we'll see you on the 30th!
