Each day will bring a new activity for all ages at the Arboretum. Come for one day or every day of the week!

Saturday: Girl Scout Outdoor Art Maker and Creator

Come explore the gardens of the Arboretum and be inspired by nature! Girl Scouts will rotate through 5 stations experiencing different parts of the garden and creating art with items from the garden. Activities fulfill the requirements of the Daisy Outdoor Art Maker and the Brownie Outdoor Art Creator.

Troops and individual scouts may register for this program. Troop leaders or parents are expected to stay with the scouts to supervise during the entire program.

We have JCRA patches for all scouts who attend the program, but troops or individual scouts will need to purchase the Girl Scout Badge from their Girl Scout Store.
