Humber Arboretum day camps are based out of the Centre for Urban Ecology, but campers spend most of their time outdoors where they make their own discoveries in the forest, river, meadows, wetlands, gardens, and ponds of the Humber Arboretum. 

Every week at Nature Camp includes nature walks, pond discovery, art and ecology, camp songs and games, and indoor swimming on Fridays. The weekly theme inspires other activities:

Healthy Planet, Healthy Lives - Monday, July 29 to Friday, August 2, 2024

The health and wellness of people, animals, and the environment are all connected. This week we’ll explore those connections and discover why it is essential to protect nature not only for ourselves but also for the diversity of life that depends on it for survival. We’ll talk (reducing) trash, tear into invasive plants, and find out how we can help grow a healthier world.
