Garden Explorers Camp (Ages 4-6)
Register Now:Monday–Friday, August 10–14, 9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m.
Budding gardeners will spend the week digging, planting, watering, and harvesting fruits and vegetables in our learning garden. We’ll investigate the inner workings of the garden from the ground up, and get the real "dirt" on plants, life cycles, composting, garden critters, and more! Sign your campers up for a week filled with games, explorations, garden snack-making, and take-home projects.
Note: Drop-off for this camp starts at 9 a.m. Programming starts at 9:30 a.m.
Scholarships are available for families with financial need. To request an application, please email Beth Jarvis at ejarvis@mainegardens.org.
Extended Explorations Aftercare
1:30 – 4 p.m. every day after camp ends
Does your child want extra time after camp to explore the Children’s Garden, catch frogs, or build a fairy house? Does a later pick-up time work better for you?
In our Extended Explorations, campers can spend an extra two hours exploring, playing, and discovering after the regular camp day ends. Youth education staff members will lead activities, including games, hikes, and nature discovery in our gardens and woodlands. Pick up time runs from 3:30-4 p.m. To register for this program, select the option with the Extended Explorations add-on when you add it to your cart.
