What a beautiful week we shared together at Atypical Farm 💛
Week 2 was all about connection — welcoming both new and returning participants into a space where friendships could grow naturally through play, shared experiences and hands-on farm life.
From water play and summer cooling stations 💦
To creative sensory fun like finger knitting, chalk art and slime ✨
To gentle animal interactions and egg collecting 🐓
To nature walks, scavenger hunts and muddy hands 🌱
Every activity was designed to be inclusive, engaging and supportive — allowing each person to participate at their own pace.
We saw:
🤝 New friendships forming
🌻 Confidence growing
🎨 Fine motor skills strengthening
🐐 Beautiful moments of calm connection with animals
💬 Social skills developing through collaborative, choice-based activities
Summer on the farm isn’t just about fun (although there was plenty of that!) — it’s about creating meaningful experiences where people feel safe, included and empowered.
With shaded rest spaces, hydration reminders, visual supports and caring staff alongside them, our participants were supported to explore, regulate, create and connect in ways that felt right for them.
We are so proud of the bonds formed this week — between peers, between staff and participants, and between our community and the land that holds us 🌿✨
Bring on the next week of summer magic.
