Get outside this summer to play and learn during our new Summer Family Camps! From garden crafts to bugs and wildlife tracks, our weekly family camps are sure to spark interest in all ages. Register for your favorite weekly themes, such as gardening, Texas rocks and water, or birding. Weekly camp programs will include thematic activities, arts and crafts, outdoor explorations, and lessons with Wildflower Center experts and guest speakers. We know young minds need a lot of room to grow, and the Wildflower Center is the perfect place for getting in touch with nature and learning through discovery.

Here's how this new camp program will work: Each week will feature a different theme, and camp will take place Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week from 9 a.m. to noon. Families will register with one adult present each day as a chaperone. Pricing is per youth for three days (nine hours) of science-based learning. Each youth registered will receive the materials required for all crafts and activities throughout the week. Space is limited and registration is required.

This class will take place in person at the Wildflower Center. Face masks are optional when attending this class. Please review our safety guidelines before your visit.

Eco-investigators

Let’s explore ecology! Campers will trek through the gardens and natural areas to observe the diversity of Texas ecosystems and what’s hiding in plain sight. Campers will enjoy a special presentation from Conservation Botanist, Minnette Marr, on iNaturalist and learn how to take the perfect research-grade photo. Campers may want to bring a camera this week.

June 28, 30 & July 2
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 9 a.m. – noon

Family Summer Camp is suitable for youth ages 6 – 11 years.
