Celebrate National Pollinator Week by learning all about our local pollinators, the plants they rely on, their importance to the environment, and how to support them! Enjoy adventuring through the Dogwood Meadow, our apiary with working European honeybee hives, the Hillside Pollinator Garden, arts and crafts and free play.

This is a drop-off camp. A small snack will be provided, but campers are required to pack their own bag lunch each day. Dress for the weather as we will be outside exploring most of the time!
