Houston Arboretum & Nature Center Nature Trekkers Summer Camps for kids 5 to 12

Knot tying, orienteering, bug collecting (and releasing!) and natural arts and crafts are just a few of the activities kids will experience during the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center’s Nature Trekkers Summer Camps. Week-long classes offer hands-on learning experiences for children ages 5 to 12 under the guidance of staff naturalists, and include both indoor and outdoor activities at the 155-acre nature sanctuary.

Camps topics include: “Lifelines,” July 20-24; “Outdoor Adventures,” June 22-26 and July 27-31; “Bug Basics,” June 29-July 3 or August 3-7; and “Wild Science,” July 6-10 or August 10-14. Cost for full-day camp is $230 for members; $270 for non-members; limited morning-only options are also available.

A bustling schedule of year round activities and courses are available for adults, children and families to create a sense of wonder and appreciation for nature. For more information, call 713-681-8433 or visit www.houstonarboretum.org.
