Camp Discovery
Camp Discovery 2023 at the Elizabethan Gardens starts Monday, June 26th! Campers will enjoy a fun-filled summer of nature-based games, activities, crafts, and more. The goal of our camp program is to foster appreciation and love for the environment through hands-on learning experiences.
Week-long Day Camps
Seedlings Camp – Ages 5-6

Garden Explorers: How does a seed become a flower? In Garden Explorers week, campers will learn about the amazing world of plants. Dirt will be dug, seeds will be planted, and campers will become scientists as they explore plants in a whole new way. The activities in this camp are structured for kids that have already attended Kindergarten.
Sprouts Camp- Ages 7-8

Wings, Scales, and Tails: What would you do if you had wings? What is the difference between lizards and frogs? This week campers will investigate creatures of the forest. Owl pellets will be dissected and nature walks will have campers looking up and down for all the tiny creatures that call the Garden home.
Clovers Camp – Ages 9-10

Water, Water Everywhere: Join us for a wet and wild week of water exploration. Campers will discover the water cycle and learn about how water is essential for all life on earth. Hands-on activities will be messy and wet this week.
Trail Blazers Camp- Ages 11-12
July 22nd-July 25th
This camp is packed with high-energy adventures like hiking, outdoor learning, and games, predicting weather patterns, and learning to use maps and a compass to navigate through the Gardens. Campers will identify trees and learn about the plants that benefit people.
Pre-K Single Half-Day Camps (8am-11am): Ages 4-5
July 1st- 3rd
Campers will use their wild senses to immerse themselves in the natural world around them. We will investigate and observe plants through sights, smells, sensory hikes, and various activities that engage all the senses. Activities are slower paced, purposeful, and sensory friendly. Pre-K camp activities are designed for children who have not attended Kindergarten.
As this may be the first camp experience for your child, you are welcome to stay at camp for the first 30-minutes of the day. However, we highly recommend that parents/guardians not remain at camp so the child can adjust by themselves. If a child has not adjusted to being at camp in the first 30-minutes, the parent/guardian will be called to pick up child. You can pay for one single day or for all three days.
