Bronx Botanic Summer

About

NYBG Children's Education Programs run summer day camps at the New York Botanical Garden for kids ages 4-13. Programs combine garden exploration, plant science workshops, ecology investigations, and behind-the-scenes herbarium tours. Strong fit for Bronx families wanting science-grounded camp experience in a working botanical garden. Sessions weekly through summer. Located in Fordham. Programs emphasize the Garden's 250-acre living laboratory as the classroom — kids do real botanical work alongside trained educators. Sessions weekly with multiple themed tracks (plant science, ecology, art-meets-nature). Hours 9am-3pm with early drop-off and late pickup options. Strong fit for science-curious kids.
