Knowledge and fun bloom year-round with the Garden's updated schedule of fall and winter break camps offered to children and youth ages 5-12.
Join us for hands-on nature exploration and seasonal fun. Campers will hunt for scarecrows and pumpkins, discover the world of spiders, roast pumpkin seeds and create spooky plant puppets while exploring the Garden.
Grab your apron and get ready to cook! From exploring tasty plants in the Garden to mixing, measuring and baking sweet treats, we'll discover the ingredients and flavors that make this season so delicious.
Shine bright to prepare for the longest night! Join us as we create and explore ways the Garden can glow even during the day. Discover how cultures around the world celebrate the Winter Solstice, and explore the mysterious world of nocturnal creatures that thrive in the Garden after dark.
Celebrate the trees that stay green, no matter the season! Campers will embark on a quest in search of evergreens of all shapes and sizes, make their own enchanted trees and get up-close and personal with some of the most special plants in the Garden.
Slow down, take a deep breath, and enjoy a snuggly day at the Garden. Build an impenetrable fortress, create your own cozy cave to help an animal friend hibernate and enjoy some delicious hot chocolate as we celebrate the tranquility of winter.
Step into a world of wonder where fairies flutter, elves hide among the trees, and unicorns and dragons might just be real! Campers will search for magical clues in the Garden, build tiny homes for woodland creatures, and create enchanted art inspired by nature's mysteries.
Ring in the New Year with an assortment of activities to celebrate another circle around the sun. Embark into the Garden in search of New Year's luck and good tidings, create your own colorful firework art, and then work as a team to put on a spectacular countdown to bring in 2027 with style!
Questions
