SEEDS Summer Field Camps
Full day 9am-4pm, co-ed for ages 8 – 10 and 10 - 14 year olds. Typical group size: 8-9 children, two teachers, plus one teen assistant.
SEEDS engages kids in hands-on, play and place-based nature education. During summer camps, every week kids explore the wonders of our local natural world. Our field camps take kids on daily field trips with fun-filled science exploration, art projects, experiments, music, and play to interpret what we've been learning about.

Registrations will be selected from all those received by the deadline.
You will be notified by email within a week of lottery results.
Any remaining spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
We do not deposit checks unless your child gets into camp.
Waiting list:
If you do not get a spot, we notify you by email and file the application with our waiting list.
If you still don’t get a spot in camp during summer we destroy the check and file the application for the following year.
Kids who don’t get in and whose applications are in the waiting list get first-dibs on spaces the following year if you reapply.
If you don’t get one of the spots in a SEEDS camp program, there are many other excellent programs offered by other organizations in the area.
We look forward to a fun and rewarding season of SEEDS summer programs!
