We are gearing up for our best summer yet here at the Gardens, and we are particularly thrilled to offer some new and exciting opportunities to our oldest campers. 

Saplings (7&8-year-olds) and Silver Maples (9-11-year-olds) will be able to challenge themselves and their peers with our new team-building course. With elements like “Whale Watch,” “Wild Woozy,” and “All Aboard,” they are sure to have a blast while learning communication skills and developing great relationships with their fellow campers. These types of activities are excellent for team building and perfect for kids of this age as they mature and begin to find their place in the world. Most importantly, these courses are a lot of fun!

Saplings and Silver Maples will also be able to take their pond dipping to the next level with something special- chest waders! Campers will have the chance to truly immerse themselves in the pond environment and explore like never before. 

We have a few more surprises up our sleeve for the older campers, and we are looking forward to providing them with a summer camp experience they will never forget.

If you haven’t registered your child(ren) for summer camp yet, it’s not too late!  Register here!
