The camp offers a unique opportunity to explore scientific concepts within the immersive and diverse 250-acre living collection of the New York Botanical Garden.
Campers entering grades 1-6 at the New York Botanical Garden Science Camp engage in hands-on exploration of the natural world. Through a variety of outdoor activities, scientific experiments, and art projects, participants investigate fundamental concepts in plant science, animal life, diverse ecosystems, and earth science. The camp leverages the Garden's expansive 250-acre campus as a living laboratory, providing a rich environment for discovery and learning. Activities are designed to foster observation skills, critical thinking, and an appreciation for biodiversity, encouraging campers to connect with nature and understand scientific principles in a tangible way.
A typical day involves a mix of outdoor exploration within the Garden, engaging in hands-on science experiments, and creative art projects inspired by nature.
This camp is ideal for elementary school students who are curious about the natural world and enjoy hands-on learning in an outdoor setting.
