Preschool Garden Camp

Join us this summer at Garden Camp — where children grow their connection to food, nature, and community. 

Located at Summit Community Gardens, campers are immersed in our 1.5 acre space full of growing food and flowers, surrounded by nature, and nestled under the mountains. Each week, campers plant, tend, and harvest in the garden, then cook simple, seasonal recipes right on-site using fresh ingredients. Campers create nature-based art, investigate soil, plants, and ecosystems, and spend meaningful time digging and discovering outdoors.

Through this hands-on learning and exploring, children build practical skills, learn to care for the land, and gain a deeper understanding of where their food comes from, all while experiencing the fun and freedom of summer outdoors.

Is your favorite camp sold out? Don’t worry - plans change all the time. Sign up on the waitlist and we will contact you if space becomes available.
