Bartlett Summer Camp
Bartlett camp programs offer immersion into the natural world through exploration of the arboretum’s 93 acres of forest and gardens. Programming is hands-on and incorporates STEAM concepts (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) in age-appropriate contexts. In addition to the week-specific programming, each camp segment allows time each day for games and relaxation appropriate to the age level. We aim to make nature inviting and engagement fun. In inclement or extremely hot weather, we will continue our nature exploration in the air-conditioned environment of the Silver Educational Center.
If you have questions about camp please contact Camp Director, Gabrielle Walther at edu@bartlettarboretum.org.
Scholarships are available. Please contact us for more information.
