Farmington Area Community Education

Gibbs Farm

Susan Fagnant and Carla Marich

Incoming grades 3-5

Join us on a trip to the historic Gibbs Farm to explore a pioneer village and learn about life in Minnesota in the 1800's! We will go on both the Pioneer and Dakota Tours and also complete a craft project. The tour will include a pioneer Soddy, Dakota summer bark lodge, tipi, farm animals and birds, one-room schoolhouse and much more! Please note that transportation will not be provided after this extended trip so a pick up from Bockman Middle School at 3pm will need to be arranged. 

This opportunity is available to all students that are currently enrolled in the ISD 192 school district. These programs are made possible by ESSER III (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund) federal funds.

Attendance Policy

If your child cannot attend the program for which you registered, please notify Community Education as soon as possible. Participants who are absent without advance notice will risk losing their spot for any additional camps they are registered to attend.

Transportation and Food

Free bus transportation will be available from 6 pick-up locations at Akin Road Elementary, Ardmor Village, Countryview of Lakeville, Farmington Elementary, North Trail Elementary and Riverview Elementary. If your child plans to ride the bus, please indicate their pick up location during registration. At this time you may also request a free bagged lunch for your youth.
