Date

$45 member/$50 non-member, includes Arboretum admission and all project supplies

Fridays are fun days at the Arboretum! This series of one-day mini-camps brings together some of summer’s most popular activities and outdoor games, along with opportunities to dig a little deeper into the fascinating world of pollinators. Combine these fun-packed morning sessions with weekday camps to make a 5-day session, or just come for the day!

Program location: Learning Center

Campers will explore, play, jump and squish in mud- glorious mud!

  • Create mud crafts.
  • Search for critters that live in the mud.
  • Make and eat a “dirt” cup snack! 

Campers should come ready for a muddy good time! Parents, don’t worry! Kids are 100% washable, and will be sprinkler-washed before being returned to you. Bring a towel, dry change of clothes and a plastic bag to carry wet items.
