Campers engage in real science alongside ideas that real scientists are exploring, including NASA-affiliated plant research, within a world-renowned botanical garden.
Fairchild Summer Camp offers hands-on adventures for kids ages 7-12, blending science, art, and nature within the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden's living laboratory. Campers engage in a variety of STEAM activities, such as designing plants for Mars, observing butterflies in the Wings of the Tropics exhibit, and mixing natural pigments for art projects. The program emphasizes real-world science, with activities inspired by Fairchild's NASA-affiliated plant research, including plant survival in extreme environments and conservation of endangered species. Through experiments, building, planting, and investigating, children develop an understanding of plant biology, ecosystems, and environmental science. Each week features a unique theme, allowing for diverse exploration and skill development in areas like engineering, design, and ecological awareness.
A typical day includes morning welcome activities and games, followed by hands-on science experiments, building, planting, and investigations. After lunch and free time, campers participate in a creative lab session focusing on art, design, or an engineering challenge related to the week's theme.
This camp is ideal for curious kids aged 7-12 who love hands-on exploration and are interested in science, nature, and creative challenges.
