About Our Camp

Cylburn Arboretum Friends’ Nature Camp teaches children knowledge of and respect for the nature that surrounds them. Campers will explore our 200+ acres and learn about the plants, animals, fungi, and habitats they encounter. They will spend their days at camp hiking the trails and partaking in environmental education lessons, activities, art, and group games. Our goals are to nurture a sense of wonder and curiosity about the natural world and to help children learn to be good stewards of their environment. All age groups are led by certified teachers and naturalists.

FAQs

What is a typical day’s schedule at Cylburn Nature Camp?

Campers begin their day with a hike on our beautiful grounds before the day heats up! Afterward, they engage with nature lessons, crafts, outdoor exploration, and games throughout the day. We spend much of our day outside, and schedules vary by theme and age. Our emphasis is on learning, safety, and fun!

Are there options for before or after-care?

Our morning drop off window is from 8:45-9am. After-care is available for purchase from 1-3pm for $80.
