ABG Summer camp
2021
Registration is open!
Come and learn all about gardening, soils, botany, cooking, and art!
Full Day and Half Day options available. All camps take place in our unique outside garden classroom and on 110 acres of boreal forest! Expert staff lead campers through fun, hands-on, science-based environmental education activities. Each unique camp offers a chance for your child to go in depth into the subjects that interest them the most! All camp materials are provided as well as weekly take-home projects.
To keep camp staff and campers safe and healthy this summer we will be implementing safety protocols to comply with state and municipality COVID-19 health mandates. We will be limiting the number of students in each camp with no more than 15 per camp. Students will be assigned their own space at camp where they will eat and store their materials to ensure adequate social distancing from other campers. While at camp, all staff and campers will be required to wear a face covering and student areas will be sanitized daily.
