Upon completing their morning chores, the participants split up into three groups, of which one helped make worm bins, one buit the new composting facilities, and another painted the new signs for the Farm. These groups will then rotate for the next two days.

After lunch, the students chose from six different group activities which included making beads out of newspapers, designing pouches, learning how to mend ripped socks, knitted bath matts, designed kites, and making decorative paper out of items from the garden. "I had never thought of designing a kite out of old grain bags and tree branches" explains one participant.
