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 age 6-7 at the time of the sessions below in order to participate in Saplings Full-Day Camp. 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.
Please call Briar Bush Nature Center at
