CMBG Summer Camp Club: Animal Kingdom (Ages 4-9)

June 28, 2021 - July 2, 2021

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every week that begins at 12:00 am on Monday, repeating until July 23, 2021

CMBG’s Summer Camp Club is back! Though most in-person camps are not taking place this year, your child or grandchild can still spend a memorable summer at the Gardens by becoming part of the CMBG Summer Camp Club. Campers will receive four or eight full weeks of self-guided summer camp experiences taking place both at the Gardens and at home. Summer camp club runs from July 26-Aug. 20 and covers a different topic every week. Since these are self-guided activities, you can sign up for the camp’s entirety at any time.

Starting any day the week of June 28, participants can pick up their first week of Session 1: “Animal Kingdom” camp activities and supplies at the Visitor Center. Each week’s supplies will be packed in compliance with CDC health and safety protocols. Thereafter, a new week of activities will be made available each Monday for a total of four weeks. Need more flexibility? Not a problem. Choosing a later start-date, condensing the program into fewer weeks, or picking up more than one week’s worth of activities at a time are all options.

Being part of the CMBG Summer Camp Club comes with exclusive perks:
• Each camper will receive a special bag to keep filled with tools for investigation and discovery as well as a camp hat. Campers that are signed up for both camp sessions will receive bonus supplies.
• Campers will be invited to attend small-group outdoor learning sessions with our Education staff throughout the summer based on camp themes.
• Campers will be given clues each week to help them find secret stashes at the Gardens.
• Other weekly activities will include scavenger hunts, themed activities, games and/or experiments to do at the Gardens and at home (see weekly themes below), supplies for an art project, and a recipe with ingredients harvested or sampled at the Gardens.
• Upon completion of each week’s activities, campers will receive a special keepsake to signify that week’s activity.
