2012 Discovery Camp Registration Now Open at the North Carolina Arboretum


Our Discovery Camp programs are based on the overall philosophy that young people benefit from experiences in the outdoors. It is our mission of our dedicated and experienced staff to cultivate a sense of adventure and wonder in the outdoors, foster an enthusiasm for exploration in the natural world, and promote environmental awareness, stewardship and conservation.

This will be the seventh year of summer day camp at the Arboretum. Since our first year our program offerings have grown as well as our reputation for providing a safe, fun, high quality, memorable experience.

We look forward to seeing you for another exciting year of discovery!

Sign up for camp using our new, user friendly registration system at www.ncarboretumregistration.org
