Summer Camp volunteers help children learn about nature and science with fun indoor and outdoor activities. We have 7 week long camps, plus a 3-day camp, and 10 one day camps each with its own theme. Camper ages range from 4-12 for most camps and 11-15 for the 3-day teen camp. Camp volunteers will help children with crafts, keep kids together during walks outdoors, prepare camp snacks, pass things out, provide extra support for students with special needs, help set up and clean up, read stories, play games, and generally help our campers have a great time learning in the Garden.
All volunteers must attend a volunteer training. A group training is scheduled May 1st from 1-2 pm, but we can schedule training at other times if that doesn't work. Volunteers must sign up for at least one entire camp session (week or day depending on the camp). Student volunteers must be at least 14 years old (18+ for the teenage camp). Experience working with kids or experience in nature will be helpful, but is not required.

The 85-acre garden is comprised of both formal, cultivated gardens and natural woodland areas intersected with a network of over 3 miles of barrier-free foot-trails with interpretive signs that provide for a scenic and educational exploration of the forest above the river.
