Garden Connection Camps at Cleveland Botanical Garden

The Garden Connection Camps will connect campers with the natural world with immersive play, cultural exploration and collaboration with peers.

Through the concept of immersive play, Garden Connection Camps teach the many connections between all living things, from the web of friends they make to the butterflies they release on their first day of activities. Campers will be led on a travelling investigation to decipher clues scattered throughout neighboring cultural institutions as they unravel the secrets of a mysterious disappearing ghost orchid. Daily projects from our sensory lab, like a slimy cell study and botanical bubble brines, will stimulate curious minds to create natural solutions collaboratively. By the final day of their week, campers will unite to overcome a challenge course and apply what they learn to design fun plant-inspired games. Each session is tailored with engaging opportunities that fit the specific age range.

Session 1: July 8-12, 9 a.m.-3 p.m., (ages 6-8)
Session 2: July 15-19, 9 a.m.-3 p.m., (ages 6-8)
