Summer Camp at Fairchild
Camp Discovery is a fun and educational adventure for students 7-12 years old! It offers kids an opportunity to explore Fairchild’s tropical oasis, hang out with exotic butterflies, experiment with plants that can feed astronauts, and learn about the botanical world around them. Campers are sure to love it!
