Signs of Spring Adventure, 9:30am – 3:30pm, Ages 7 – 10
As winter fades, the natural world begins to wake up! Today campers will uncover
and explore the signs of spring all around them—budding trees, returning birds,
blooming flowers, and buzzing insects. Through outdoor exploration, scavenger
hunts, art projects, and up-close encounters with our animals, campers will learn
how plants and animals change with the seasons and discover the exciting clues
that spring has arrived.
Cost: $75/member; $84/nonmember
Tuesday, April 28
Animals on the Move, 9:30am – 3:30pm, Ages 7 – 10
As the days grow longer and warmer, animals begin to stir and return. Today,
campers will learn about animals that migrate back in the spring and those that
wake up from winter rest. Through up-close to animal encounters, nature
exploration, and creative activities, campers will discover why animals migrate,
when they wake up, and what clues tell us they’re back. Campers will build
observation skills while celebrating the exciting return of wildlife in spring!
Cost: $75/member; $84/nonmember

Spring Art, 9:30am – 3:30pm, Ages 7 – 10
Spring is full of color, texture, and inspiration! During this camp day, campers will
create spring-themed art both indoors and outdoors, using the natural world as their
muse. From painting flowers and blossoming trees to experimenting with nature
prints and outdoor sketching, campers will explore a variety of materials and
techniques. This day encourages creativity, self-expression, and a hands-on
connection to the sights and feelings of spring—rain or shine. We’ll also meet an
animal guest to help inspire some of our art.
Cost: $75/member; $84/nonmember
Aftercare Available
Each day, aftercare will be available until 4:30pm. You can sign your child/children
up for aftercare when you register for camp. Please note that we will not have
aftercare if fewer than 3 children are signed up, and we will notify families at least
one week before.
Cost: $13/day per child
Thursday, April 30
Springtime Bug Safari, 9:30am – 3:30pm, Ages 7 – 10
Grab your magnifying glasses and get ready to explore! Campers will become insect
adventurers as they head outdoors to discover the tiny creatures that make spring
buzz, crawl, and flutter to life. Campers will search for insects on guided “bug
safaris,” learn how to gently observe and release them, and create insect inspired
art. Today is all helping kids see that even the smallest creatures can lead to big
adventures and have big impacts.
Cost: $75/member; $84/nonmember
