Campers who sign up for the Farming Interest Group get to collect eggs in the henhouse and play with the ducks and bunnies in Bunny Village.

Meet the Farm Animals

Milo and Buddy

Milo is a five-year-old pig who loves people! He is a combination of Vietnamese Pot-Belly Pig, American Farm Pig, and Mini-Pig. Buddy is a miniature goat who came to Whippoorwill when he was one month old. Buddy and Milo like each others' food. Buddy tries to "hog" in on Milo's food, and Milo likes the fattening corn mixture that Buddy eats. Milo is always on a diet and should not eat the goat's food!

Lily and Miss Duck

Lily is the camp dog, and she is best friends with Miss Duck. Whenever a car comes down the road, Lily runs after the car, barking, and Miss Duck runs after Lily, quacking. The UPS delivery person doesn't know what to make of it!

In the Riding Ring

Tinker (pictured at right). Tinker was raised by the Amish community as a carriage pony and was adopted by Whippoorwill. He has one blue eye and one brown eye. Tinker can untie knots, open doors and gates, and will carry off anything that is left out within reach -- especially food! He has even gotten into the chicken house. He is brown and is about 18 years old. His coat is very furry!

Ace. Bond's Jet Ace is 24 years old, 16 hands high, and is a registered Appaloosa. He is Julia's horse and all the campers love him and want to ride him. His favorite treats are apples and carrots. When he first came to Whippoorwill, he was afraid of the chickens and the pig! He has been in many horse shows.

Misty. Misty is a quarter horse, and the technical term for her color is flea bitten (she's speckled gray). Misty is very bossy, and she is the alpha mare.

Several sweet ponies live at Whippoorwill during the summer - favorites include Cowboy and Silver.

Chickens, Ducks, and Bunnies

Campers who sign up for the Farming Interest Group get to collect eggs in the henhouse and play with the ducks and bunnies in Bunny Village. The bunnies are Chocolate Chip, Cotton, and Thumper, and they love to nibble on willow branches.

Our Feline Family

Spots, pictured at right, hangs out in the office. Spots even has his own In Box! You'll also meet Micah, the other pampered farm cat.
