At Cape Fear Botanical Garden, camps bring nature to life through play, exploration, and hands-on activities. Whether it’s a multi-day summer camp or a single-day session when school is out, our camps immerse kids in outdoor learning experiences that feel nothing like a classroom—because the Garden itself is the teacher!
Timeline: Summer Camp Registration typically opens in early March and fills quickly. Watch our social media pages for specific Camp Lineup Announcements and Registration Dates.
When school is out, the Garden is in! Our single-day camps on teacher workdays and school holidays offer a fun and enriching way for kids to spend the day. These programs provide a chance to explore the outdoors, meet new friends, and take part in exciting nature-based activities that extend learning beyond the classroom. Each session features a unique theme, ensuring every camp day is a new adventure.
