Garden Camp Dates
Summer Camp
M-F 9:-00am-3:30pm, June 10-August 23rd
At Garden Camp we organize our guided activities around a weekly theme. Each day we continuously dive deeper into this theme and explore how it relates to the world around us.
Every day kids will bring home lots of things they've been working on (plants, flowers, food, bugs, seeds, rocks, etc.) Projects are set up on tables and kids are encouraged to choose how they spend their day. They’ll cook, garden, work with tools, and most importantly…play outside!
