Summer Camp in the Gardens

Summer Camp in the Gardens offers children a unique outdoor experience. We offer a variety of themed, hands-on activities tailored to a specific age camper. We make sure the activities are developmentally appropriate, educationally relevant and, most importantly, fun! Campers at the Gardens will learn about relevant environmental subjects through hands-on activities, work with their peers, and spend time outdoors!
