Cleveland Botanical Garden proudly hosts BotaniCool® Kids Camp - a fun day camp for children ages 5 - 8.

This summer the Garden celebrates the opening of its new Kitchen Garden, and so campers will dive into the world of local food with activities including:

• Taste testing locally grown food
• Planting edible garden boxes
• Learn and sample simple and nutritious recipes

Campers will also explore the natural world in our Glasshouse and 10 acres of outdoor gardens, including our Hershey Children's Garden. Each day is full of hands-on experiments and activities, arts and crafts, nature games and garden walks.

All activities are led by the Garden's knowledgable, well-trained and slightly silly educators. Campers will learn new skills, develop environmental awareness and appreciation and grow new friendships.
