Register RegisterCampers foster a deep connection with the flourishing wonders of the garden.
This camp is full of exploring and connecting with the plants, animals and natural world of the Arboretum's gardens. Through hands-on activities, creative projects and time spent in the garden, campers are sure to make a connection with the gardens.
Each day begins with a nature quest to discover something new in the garden. Then campers have the opportunity through hands-on activities, art projects, games and more to dig deeper into each theme.
Campers bring a bagged lunch and snack from home. Camp size is 15 campers.
