Who are you as an organization?
Wildflower Community Farm offers outdoor learning camps and programs, and horse riding lessons for ages 5+. Learn, grow, and play on our farm just 25 minutes from Calgary, Cochrane, and Airdrie. Our programs are designed for all those neurodiverse and/or queer folks who find they do not fit in either traditional sports/education programs or special needs programs.
What do you do differently or uniquely well?
"How our programs differ: Our programs are designed to develop life skills in children through nature play, animal interactions, and social environments. Because of our interdisciplinary approach, we can help neurodiverse, disabled, and queer kids thrive by providing a community built for them and by building skills for the world beyond.
How our business differs: We are building a community, not just offering services. Members of our community support each other on and off the farm, extending your support far beyond the programs we offer.
How our values differ: We believe in sustainable impact over profit. This means we maximize value for our members while ensuring we aren't exploiting resources and staff. "
Who are your staff and counsellors?
"Our leadership team is made up of neurospicy, queer, disabled, and passionate women. Our backgrounds in public health, international development, physical literacy, counselling, child and youth work, education, farming, and even fashion design allow us to bring the best knowledge from many disciplines to create programs that prepare kids for life.
Most of our staff are also neurodiverse, queer, disabled, and deeply passionate about building a community where kids can thrive. "
