Plan now for summer fun and nature adventures!

The Arboretum Summer Nature Camp is a chance for your child to experience the wonders of nature through outdoor, hands-on experiences. Our adventure-packed sessions are spent hiking through the 127 acre Los Angeles Arboretum and Botanic Garden discovering the amazing animals and plants from around the world found here. Your child will get to discover the science behind gardening, cook with fresh organic veggies from the children’s gardens, and explore their creative side with nature crafts. Our small counselor to student ratio ensures that your child will experience summer fun in a safe and personal environment.
