Mounts Botanical Garden to Host GARDEN EXPLORERS SUMMER CAMP for Ages 7 to 11 in July

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - EntSun -- (West Palm Beach, FL – May 11, 2022) Friends of the Mounts Botanical Garden will be hosting two week-long programs in July for nature curious youngsters ages 7 to 11. Garden Explorers Summer Camp offers science-based fun and nature experiences, Monday through Friday, 9 am to 3 pm, July 11-15 and July 25-29.

As part of the season of awe, wonder and reconnection at Mounts, each camp session will be limited to 20 participants and will offer both inside and outside activities, including:

• Become a junior wetlands water quality specialist by learning how to catch and identify macroinvertebrates in Mounts' beautiful Lake Orth.
• Become a budding soil scientist by getting a close-up, dirty-hands look at the properties of mud.
• Become a blooming horticulturist by discovering the wicked, dangerous, sticky, deceptive and downright incredible adaptations plants have developed to help them survive.
• Become a botanist-to-be by attending a dissection lab for an inside look at the fascinating structures of seeds and flowers.
• Become an aspiring agriculturalist by touring the edible gardens at Mounts and learn how to grow and nurture tasty fruits and vegetables.

The cost to attend each week-long session is $250 for Mounts members, $290 for nonmembers. (Note: an extra $50 per camper will cover extended care, 8 to 9 am, and 3 to 4 pm.)
