Summer Camp Programs
Saplings Full-Day Camps for Ages 6-7
Ages 6-7
9:30am-4:00pm
Join us for a full day of excitement, education, and exploration in the outdoors! Each week, lessons and activities build campers' knowledge of natural concepts while games, crafts, hikes, animal encounters, and free-play time to explore make learning tons of fun. Saplings Campers stay onsite, but may visit the Highland Elementary playground and field.
Campers must be within the age range to participate (campers who turn 6 years of age up to one month after the camp start date will be eligible to register).
The five camp themes below repeat two to three times throughout the summer. Campers cannot be registered for the same theme more than once. Campers registered for more than one week per theme will be removed from the duplicate week.
Awesome Adaptations
