Camps

Exciting, nature-based camps that keep kids learning, exploring, and having fun—whether for a day, a week, or throughout an entire summer.

Adventure, Discovery & Hands-On Fun

At Cape Fear Botanical Garden, camps bring nature to life through play, exploration, and hands-on activities. Whether it’s a multi-day summer camp or a single-day session when school is out, our camps immerse kids in outdoor learning experiences that feel nothing like a classroom—because the Garden itself is the teacher!

Summer Camps

Summer at the Garden is filled with adventure! Our summer camps offer weekly, multi-day, and daily options for ages 5-15, each designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and outdoor exploration. With new themes every week, campers might dig into gardening, investigate wildlife, get creative with nature-inspired art, or dive into outdoor survival skills. With plenty of time for games, hikes, and hands-on discovery, summer camp is the perfect way to keep kids engaged, active, and learning all summer long.

School Break & Day Camps

When school is out, the Garden is in! Our single-day camps on teacher workdays and school holidays offer a fun and enriching way for kids to spend the day. These programs provide a chance to explore the outdoors, meet new friends, and take part in exciting nature-based activities that extend learning beyond the classroom. Each session features a unique theme, ensuring every camp day is a new adventure.
