Summer Camp for Adults: The Magic Garden

About This Event

This adult-themed camp experience will transport you to a magical realm where plants have mysterious powers and gardens hold secrets waiting to be uncovered. We’ll explore the magical properties of plants, learn about their uses in ancient potions, and discover the folklore behind the most mystical of flora. Enjoy a hands-on, potion-inspired science experiment, craft your own wizardry-themed creation, and embark on a whimsical, adult-guided tour through the garden. With a glass of wine (or an “adult juice box”) in hand and a few nostalgic snacks to nibble on, you’ll experience the magic of the garden like never before. Get ready to channel your inner wizard for an evening of fun, magic, and mystery!

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.
