Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s nature-based camp program will run from June 17-August 2, 2024, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There is no camp during the week of 4th of July.
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 botanic world around them. Campers are sure to love it!
