Want to cultivate your child’s passion for the environment or perhaps trigger an interest he or she may not have discovered yet nor had the opportunity to explore? If so, you might want to check out some of the awesome gardening and nature-based camps and programs for kids in the Puget Sound region.
Seattle Tilth is offering gardening camps in both North and South Seattle. The Seattle Audubon Society is offering nature camps at Magnuson Park in Seattle.
The Pacific Science Center offers environmentally-based summer camps at the Mercer Slough Environmental Center in Bellevue.
Is your little one interested in all things under the sea? If touching sea stars and feeding an octopus would thrill your child, the Seattle Aquarium offers many summer camps for young marine explorers.
For those in or near Snoqualmie, Summer Winds Day Camp offers nature-based camps all summer on a private farm.
If you live near our Maple Valley plant, the City of Maple Valley hosts an annual camp called Camp Wild at Lake Wilderness that includes swimming, canoeing, and more fun in and around the lake.
Our region is bursting at the seams with environmental education programs for kids. We’re sure we’ve missed some awesome programs in our brief list. Do you know of other gardening or other nature-based summer camps being offered in King, Pierce or Snohomish County this summer? If so, please share your pearls of wisdom in the comments section. Thanks and happy summer planning!
