Our Garden Critters camp builds on a child's innate curiosity and fascination finding a new critter each day during garden explorations, lessons, games, and crafts. The camp week concludes with smiles, new friends, and a keepsake craft with each day's critter.

This half-day, week-long adventure is one of our most popular camps and is a great opportunity to introduce your little garden critter to the Arboretum.

Campers bring a bagged lunch and snack from home. Camp size is 14 campers.

Note: This week of Garden Critters camp will be the same activities as the Garden Critters camp in July. Campers should not be registered for both weeks of camp since activities will be repeated.
