Summer Garden Camp

Full—Waitlist Started

Nature Detectives

Monday, July 18, 2016 through Friday, July 22, 2016 – 9:00 am–3:00 pm

Learn about trees, insects, seeds, and soils while solving a garden mystery.

Who or what is wreaking havoc in our gardens?
Our young Nature Detectives learn a variety of green and growing lessons as they trail a "Mad Gardener" who does everything in the garden exactly the WRONG way.

Designed by elementary education and horticulture specialists, this active, outdoor curriculum gives campers the satisfaction and confidence that comes from solving problems with their newly acquired knowledge.

Enrollment is limited to 12 campers. Campers bring a bagged lunch and snack from home.
