Sarasota Children's Garden Summer Camp

*Summer Camp Registration Opens March 13!*

Mark your calendars! Registration for our 2026 Summer Camps (Ages 5–10) begins Friday, March 13th. Sign up for one week, or all four! Enroll online through Zeffy, or in person at the Garden. Spaces fill up fast—don't miss out on a summer of garden magic!

Tuesday-Friday:

June 2 – 5 | The Gnome Garden: Dig in the dirt with gnome friends! Create "bee sips," plant seeds for butterflies, and paint a custom ceramic gnome to take home.

June 9 – 12 | June Bugs: Become a nature detective! Build mini-beast hotels, go on daily bug hunts, and enjoy "bug bite" snacks in the Caterpillar Cottage.

June 16 – 19 | Nature Notions & Potions: A week of sensory alchemy! Mix herbal concoctions, bubbling serums, and your own custom essential oil petal perfume.

June 23 – 26 | Nature Rangers: Adventure awaits! Learn compass skills, tracking, and map reading before garden hikes with a daily stop at the “Trail Mix Bar” to create the perfect hiking snack for the journey.
​Prepare for Camp: We believe in the joy of getting our hands dirty. Children are encouraged to wear play clothes and tennis shoes to fully engage in our outdoor escapades. Apply sunscreen and bug spray before camp, and consider long, loose-fitting pants for added comfort.
