Summer Camp for Adults: Jurassic Camp

About This Event

Step back in time to the age of dinosaurs at our Jurassic-themed adult summer camp! Join us for a fun and educational journey through the Arboretum, where we’ll explore a world full of T-rexes, raptors, and prehistoric wonders. Did you know a newly-discovered dinosaur looked like a bloodthirsty peacock? Or that the Stegosaurus ate a very specific diet? We’ll dive into these questions and more, uncovering which plants survived the extinction event and outlived the dinosaurs. This adventure includes a hands-on science experiment, a dino-inspired craft, and a hilarious, adult-themed tour of the garden. Sip on an “adult juice box” of wine, enjoy nostalgic snacks like goldfish crackers, and let’s dig into the Jurassic era together!

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.
