Nature Camp at the Humber Arboretum

Summer Nature Camp at the Humber Arboretum starts July 3 and runs throughout July and August! 

Humber Arboretum nature day camps are based out of the Centre for Urban Ecology, but campers spend most of their time outdoors making their own discoveries in the forest, river, meadows, wetlands, gardens, and ponds of the Humber Arboretum. Active and engaging, our nature camps are designed for ages 5-13 and are conveniently located at the back of North campus.

Nature Camp (ages 5-12)

Every week of Nature Camp includes activities such as nature walks, forest exploration, ecology games, pond discovery, natural mindfulness, and free-swim Fridays (supervised time in Humber's indoor pool). Weekly themes inspire more activities that explore a special part of our natural world. 

Several weeks of Nature Camp are already wait-listed, but there's still room available to explore exciting themes during the first week of camp and later this summer:

July 3-6 Arboretum Adventures
July 9-13 Humber River Rally (waiting list)
July 16-20 Dirty Science (waiting list)
