Cylburn Summer Nature Camp 2026

Cylburn Arboretum Friends’ Summer Nature Camp teaches children knowledge of and respect for the nature that surrounds them. Campers will explore our 200+ acres and learn about the plants, animals, fungi, and habitats they encounter. They will spend their days at camp hiking the trails and partaking in environmental education lessons, activities, art, and group games. Our goals are to nurture a sense of wonder and curiosity about the natural world and to help children learn to be good stewards of their environment. All age groups are led by certified teachers and naturalists. Camper to staff ratio is 6:1 to allow for plenty of individualized attention to each camper’s needs. Each camper will receive a Cylburn Nature Camp t-shirt included in their registration.
