The Cape Fear Botanical Garden is holding spring break camps for students. Volunteers can sign up for individual days and do not have to commit to the whole week. Camp themes include Pop, Fizz, Bang, Fantastic Beasts of Harry Potter, Nature's Superheroes, Endangered Animals. and Water and Wind. Camp assistants will help pass out supplies, prepare snacks, set up and clean up each day, assist children with crafts, read stories, and other jobs as needed. The children are ages 5-12. Our summer camps teach science and conservation through hands-on fun activities and outdoor explorations. It is a fun opportunity to help children learn and enjoy time outside.
There are no more than 10 children in each camp and all children have their temperature taken and wear masks during the program. The volunteer will be required to wear a mask as well.
We will schedule a short phone call or in-person meeting with interested volunteers to ensure they plan to attend camp and help them have an idea of how our camps operate.
