You will be able to register on-line this year!  Arboretum members can begin registering on December 26th, and non-members can begin registering on January 5th, 2009.

To keep costs down we have decided to NOT involve a third party in our online registration system. Basically this means we are unable to offer a shopping cart and you will have to register for each camp individually.  We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.  (And of course, if need be you can also register by calling our Education Office at 952.443.1422.)

Summer Day Camps:

These one-, two-, & three-day camps offer a variety of ways to experience the wonders of the Arboretum. Our camps offer an engaging mix of hands-on plants, science adventure, imagination, art, food, and exploring for ages 4-14.

For our youngest campers we focus on fun, multi-sensory discovery of our amazing world. From tasting garden snacks to plantings to exploring the Arboretum and using our imaginations, we help campers feel safe as they try new things and meet new friends.  As campers get older they can choose a camp with a more-focused theme, such as cooking, art, science adventure, or performance. (Fun and a daily snack is included in all of them!)

We are excited to continue our partnership with local growers & Lakewinds Co.op to offer as much local, sustainable, and organic food as possible-both in daily snacks and in cooking-focused camps.
