2019 BARTLETT SUMMER CAMP SUMMER CAMP BARTLETT NATURE IMMERSION EXPERIENCES Our camp programs offer immersion into the natural world through the exploration of the Arboretum’s 93 acres of forest and gardens. Our programming is hands-on and incorporates STEAM concepts (science, technology, engineering, art and math) in age appropriate contexts. In addition to week specific programming, each camp segment allows time during the day for games and relaxation. Our aim is to make nature inviting and engaging. In inclement or extremely hot weather, we will continue our nature exploration in the air-conditioned environment of the Silver Educational Center. Weather conditions may require some changes to the anticipated programming.
Camp Hours: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM. Ages K - 5th grade. Snack provided, however children should bring their own nut-free lunch. Children should dress appropriately for the weather.
