Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is excited to offer LIVE, week-long summer camps this year from June 21-July 30, 2021. This camp program is best for students 7-12 years old. Camp will run from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with optional aftercare from 3:30-5:30 p.m (*aftercare cost is $50 per week per camper).
Camp Discovery at Fairchild is a fun and educational adventure every single day!

Campers are sure to love it!
