Garden Camp 2021

Garden Camp 2021 is SOLD OUT

​

Thank you all for your continued interest and support!

Garden Camp is back for an exciting summer of outdoor fun and learning for children ages 5 to 10. Connecting children to plants and each other through structured activities and unstructured play amidst plants from around the world, Garden Camp is a place for curious minds, active bodies, and budding artists. With experiences anchored in gardening, ecology, art, and wellness, we strive to enrich the “whole child” and develop deep appreciation for plants, comfort with outdoor learning, and a lifelong love of San Francisco Botanical Garden.

Each session of Garden Camp is three weeks long, with hours from 9am-4pm.

In 2021 we are excited to move to a Tier System for the Garden Camp program. Please consider selecting the highest level you can afford, knowing that, in doing so, you are enabling others to participate as well - and our community benefits from greater diversity.

​

Tier A - $1575: This most closely reflects the market rate of camp pricing and helps enable us to provide a subsidized rate for families in need. 

​

Tier B - $1155: Partially subsidized for families needing some support to make camp more affordable.    Suggested for families that make less than $128K* annually. 

​

Tier C: Scholarship program only - see details below. 

​​

PLEASE REMEMBER: All campers receive the same high quality camp experience regardless of payment tier chosen. Your selection is kept confidential. Members will receive a 10% discount regardless of their chosen tier, which will be applied through a discount code sent out prior to registration.

Garden Camp was thrilled to run during the 2020 summer season despite the ongoing pandemic. We were able to adapt our program to meet all requirements outlined by the Department of Public Health for an exciting summer.

​

We are looking forward to continuing our commitment to a safe summer camp season. 

​

A few of our adapted procedures are listed here:
 

• Campers and counselors must clear a temperature check and health screen before entering the program.

• Campers and counselors are required to wear masks.

• Campers are kept in stable pods no larger than 12 campers, with 2 counselors each. 

• Campers are required to stay 6 feet apart from each other during lunch and snack, as well as any time they may need to take their masks down.

• Counselors and Lead Staff participate in regular surveillance testing for COVID-19.
