Little Garden camps are the perfect place for children to dive into a summer of adventure, curiosity, and connection with the natural world. Designed for a variety of age groups, each camp offers developmentally appropriate experiences that meet children where they are while inviting them to grow and learn new skills. Each week is filled with hands-on exploration, nature-based learning, team building, and creative discovery as campers spend their days immersed in woods, gardens, and open skies.

In addition to activities involving the weekly theme, each camp will include storytelling, art, and unstructured time to explore and play. Parents are welcome to drop-off or stay on site and watch from a distance.
We highly recommend registering your child only for camps that truly spark their interest. Choosing the camps they are excited about helps ensure a positive, engaging experience where they can fully explore, learn, and grow. When children are genuinely curious and motivated, they get the most out of each day, making memories, developing new skills, and discovering passions that could last a lifetime.
