Summer Camp for Adults: Fantastic Forces

About This Event

Get ready for an evening of awe and discovery as we explore the incredible forces of nature right in the heart of the garden! In this adult camp, we’ll uncover the powerful phenomena that shape the natural world, from the force of water that carves landscapes to the energy that fuels plant growth and the hidden power behind pollination. We’ll dive into the forces that make the garden thrive, from wind and weather to the unseen power of sunlight and soil. With interactive experiments, engaging stories, and a tour through the Arboretum, you’ll experience how nature’s fantastic forces come to life in the garden. Armed with an “adult juice box” of wine and nostalgic snacks like goldfish crackers, get ready to be amazed by the power that fuels the beauty and life of the natural world!

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.
