The Dallas Arboretum offers an adventure-filled, STEM-centric camp that provides daily hands-on investigations and garden explorations, creating an unmatched experience away from synthetic comforts.
The Dallas Arboretum Summer Camps offer children immersive experiences that connect them with the natural world through hands-on investigations and garden explorations. Campers engage in daily activities designed to spark imagination in STEM and nature, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Through themed weeks like "Science in Nature," "Farm to Fork," and "Robotany," children explore physics, chemistry, engineering, ecology, plant biology, and even coding fundamentals. Activities include building structures from natural materials, experimenting with water filtration, tracking insects, harvesting herbs, practicing basic culinary skills, and designing Slonem-inspired art. The program aims to cultivate a sense of environmental stewardship and adventure, allowing campers to build confidence and make new friends while discovering the wonders of the botanical garden.
A typical day at camp combines playful explorations of the garden with counselor-facilitated projects, starting with a "Garden Adventure" to explore different parts of the Arboretum.
This camp is ideal for students eager to connect with Mother Nature through exhilarating, STEM-centric activities that pique their interest in science and nature, fostering environmental stewardship and adventure.
