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.
All summer camps take place from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday at Waterfront Botanical Gardens, 1435 Frankfort Avenue. All campers must be fully potty-trained in order to attend camp. Parents/Guardians should plan to provide transportation, a snack, and a lunch for their camper each day. Choose from one (or more!) of our 5 themed, age-specific weeks of camp. $275/week or $230/week for WBG Members. Save $$ on camps and other programs and special events like Gardens Aglimmer by becoming a WBG member! Visit waterfrontgardens.org/membership.
