general camp information
Learners Age 3+ are invited to join us for engaging week-long camp experiences at Bookworm Gardens. At our camps your child will experience the Gardens in new, exciting ways. With the aid of specially selected children's literature, campers will interact with, explore, observe, play, and even eat the natural environment!
Camp themes vary from rainbows to animals to botany, so there is something for all interests. All programs take advantage of the wondrous environments found at Bookworm Gardens to stimulate curiosity and creativity.
