West Virginia Botanic Garden Summer Nature Camp

The West Virginia Botanic Garden’s Summer Nature Camp has been a treasured program since 2011, fostering children’s connection to nature through engaging week-long day camps. The camp offers sessions tailored to different age levels: the Curious Kids Camp for younger children operates half-days focusing on basic nature exploration, while the Nature Explorers and Discovery camps provide full-day experiences that include learning about ecology, wildlife, and community involvement. These camps run through June and July each year, with specific dates announced ahead of registration opening in late winter. Activities include hands-on environmental education, team-building, visits from nature experts, and outdoor exploration. Discounts for members and some scholarships are also offered, encouraging broader participation in this enriching program.
