Camp Descriptions
Garden Harvest

As the growing season starts to wind down, we celebrate harvest! Garden Harvest is an exciting time of year when we celebrate the bounty of food that our gardens have produced and help put our gardens to bed for the season.
Halloween
Oct. 16 & 17 | $140 | Current K – 5th Graders
Ghouls, goblins, and gardens! Let’s have a spooktacular time preparing for Halloween by carving up crafts and learning about creepy crawly creatures of the night.
Plant Friends
Jan. 5 | $70 | Current K – 5th Graders
Scientists have been studying plants for hundreds of years and they have found that plants make us happier, healthier, and even heal faster. That sounds like a pretty good friend! Come hang out with us as we make new friends with both plants and humans!
Winter In The Gardens
Jan. 19 | $70 | Current K – 5th Graders
What do our plants and animals do when our days become cold, snowy, and dark? Join us as we explore the beauty of winter in the gardens while also learning about the mysterious lives of animals during the cold months.
Random Acts of Kindness
Feb. 16 | $70 | Current K – 5th Graders
It’s Random Acts of Kindness Week, and what better way to celebrate then by doing random acts of kindness throughout the day at The Gardens! We will encounter different animals, plants, and people who visit, live, or work at The Gardens on Spring Creek to brighten their day and celebrate kindness.
Arbor Day

Can you be-leaf it is Arbor Day!? Fort Collins has been an annual Tree City USA award recipient for over 45 years. At The Gardens, we love to celebrate the many different trees that contribute to this award. Join us as we root for our trees and go out on a limb to help them!
