Nature Explorers Summer Camp is now... CAMP FLYTRAP! Why? Because North Carolina is home (native only to a 90-mile inland area around Wilmington) to one of the world's most amazing plants and natural treasures – the carnivorousVENUS FLYTRAP!
Join us this summer for a week of hands-on outdoor discovery and natural science learning in our beautiful native plant gardens and woodland trails! Our camps (PreK-5th grade) feature small group sizes, experienced environmental educators and naturalists, and loads of fun.
NEW for 2020:
Camp sessions are now organized by rising grade (fall 2020) instead of age.
We've added a third session for 1st-2nd graders!
Extended care (for camps ending at 3:00 p.m.) is now just $35!
