Spring Break Camp for Adults: Flower Power!

About This Event

April 19th
4-7pm

Power to the flower! Join us for a unique, adult-themed garden experience that celebrates the true power of flowers and embraces the spirit of the Flower Power movement of the 60’s and 70’s! In this “groovy” program, while listening to trippy tunes, we’ll dive into the wonders of the floral world, exploring how flowers engage in “free love” (pollination and plant reproduction), alter consciousness, and inspire social trends.  This “Flower Power” themed evening will include a hands-on science experiment, a creative nature-based craft, and an amusing, grown-up tour of the garden while sipping on an “adult juice box” and enjoying nostalgic childhood snacks. Guests are encouraged to come in hippie-themed attire!

The inspiration for our “Camp for Adults” series came directly from adult feedback! Year after year we have heard parents of our youth campers, as well as general guests who witnessed our children’s camp programs, say things like “Oh wow, I wish I could attend this camp!” Well, we took their comments seriously, and gave them that opportunity! While each Adult Camp theme is tailored to a grown-up audience, the program mirrors a day in the life of an Arboretum summer camper, giving adults a chance to escape the intensity of their daily responsibilities and travel back in time to when they attended summer camp as children. And for those who never got to attend camp as a child, this program allows you to experience the magic of a camp experience for the first time.
