Description

Let nature inspire you! Learn to identify trees and herbs. Then turn Nature’s ingredients into wonder-filled potions and homemade recipes. Our complete nature immersion experiences for youth will run from June 27 - August 12, 2022. We also have a 2-day experience for Middle School students from August 22 - August 23, 2022. Discover a new theme each week, which is tied to the plants and animals that live at the Arboretum. We’ll roam the Bartlett’s grounds from swamp to forest to greenhouse. Along the way we will create art, complete hands-on investigations indoors and out, have lots of time to play, and enjoy nature together! Our camp hours are 9:00 am - 3:00 pm and is open to students entering Kindergarten to entering 5th Grade. For Middle School week, students must be entering 6th grade - entering 8th grade. Pre-registration is required. Snack is provided, however children are responsible for their own nut-free, shellfish-free lunch. Children should dress appropriately for weather.
