Discover the wonders of the Arboretum with a new science-themed adventure each day! Equipped with binoculars, microscopes, and other investigative tools, we’ll uncover hidden aspects of the natural world- from the smallest seeds to the tallest trees.
- Sharpen observation skills in search of tiny treasures on engaging scavenger hunts.
- Whip up tasty snacks from the garden and discover which plant parts contribute to the flavors we enjoy.
- Learn the "recipe" for soil by exploring the mysteries beneath the surface to unveil the surprising things hidden underground.
- Connect to the critters who call the Arb home through creative projects and imaginative outdoor play.
Print and complete the Day Camp Gate Pass form that will be sent to you by email from the Camp Coordinator before camp begins. Show your completed form to the gate attendant to receive limited 15-minute admission for Day Camp drop-off and pick-up only. If you intend to stay at the Arboretum on the same day as your child’s Day Camp for longer than 15 minutes, advance tickets are recommended to ensure your admission to the Arboretum and should be presented to the gate attendant. Make reservations to visit.
