2013 Summer Day Camps for Entering Kindergarten and Graduates

Summer Day Camp 

SUN CATCHERS

Play games and make new friends. Explore Arboretum gardens, find scratch-n-sniff plants, look for tadpoles, and discover the magical fairies that protect our plants. Make a fairy garden and other take-home plantings. On the final day of camp we are going to really dig in and thoroughly play in the mud, in the really messy way that makes kids cheer and parents cringe. With the help of a hose and a change of clothes, kids will be squeaky clean again before it's time to go home!
