Reading is fun – but reading in the garden is fun-omenal! Inspire and celebrate your camper’s love of reading with five fantastic books, all about exploring nature and the natural world. Campers will complete activities connected to each of the books, and will have opportunities to read, discuss, and interact with their peers. Books are included in the camp price and will go home with campers. It's a week where the literary world and the natural world combine for learning and fun!
Please note: Base prices shown include the early bird discount. Prices for this camp will go up on March 1.
