Summer Camp in the Gardens 

Summer Camp in the Gardens offers children a unique outdoor experience with themed, hands-on camps and activities tailored to a specific age camper. We make sure the activities are developmentally appropriate, educationally relevant, and most importantly fun! At the Gardens, campers will be able to spend time outdoors, work together with their peers, and learn about relevant environmental subjects through hands-on activities, all while having fun!

Half Day camp schedule: Monday-Friday 8am – 12 pm

Every week is a new nature-themed topic to explore. Learn about plants, birds, bugs, and the tools you can use to explore nature with your 3-5 year old. Every session includes an activity or craft, and a story. No registration required, meet at the potager. Dress for the weather, this program is all outdoors! Check out each week’s themes here!
