Monday-Friday, July 22-26, 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
Our summer nature camps provide fun and enriching opportunities for children to learn about the natural world. Exploration-filled activities will take us on adventures throughout the Gardens and surrounding forests as we investigate birds, food chains, mammals, pond life, and more. Through observations, games, stories, experiments, and nature-related projects, campers will be well on their way to becoming young naturalists by the end of the week!
Scholarships are available for families with a financial need. To request an application, please email Erika Huber at ehuber@mainegardens.org.

Extended Explorations aftercare
1:30 – 3:30 p.m. every day after camp ends
Does your child want extra time after camp to explore the Children’s Garden, catch frogs, or build a fairy house? Does a later pick-up time work better for you? Campers can spend an extra two hours exploring, playing, and discovering after the regular camp day ends. An Education staff member will lead activities, including games, hikes, and nature discovery in our gardens. To register for this program, add it to your cart when registering for camp.
