Summer Camp Programs
Seedlings Half-Day Camps for Ages 4-6
Ages 4-6
AM Session: 9:30am-12:00pm
PM Session: 1:30pm-4:00pm
Adventurous and curious, preschoolers love to learn about nature through discovery and play. Each week, mini-lessons on the theme build campers' knowledge of natural concepts while games, crafts, hikes, animal encounters, and free-time to explore make learning tons of fun!
Campers must be age 4-6 at the time of the sessions below in order to participate in Seedlings Half-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.
If the session is full, please call Briar Bush Nature Center at (215) 887-6603 to be added to the waiting list.
