Plants are paramount at Waterfront Botanical Gardens’ Sprouts Summer Camps. Whether we are painting pots, scooping soil for seeds, or peering at our planet’s predominant pollinators, age-appropriate botany is always at our core.

Waterfront Botanical Gardens Summer camps take place from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Monday through Friday at 1435 Frankfort Avenue. Camps are $285 for the week or $240 for WBG Members.
