No School? No Problem!

Education Vacation Days: Year-Round Adventures at the Arboretum

Why stay home when you can venture outdoors with our naturalists at the Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens? Our upcoming winter programs capture the beauty of the season…much like a day of summer camp filled with crisp air, colorful leaves, and seasonal traditions.

Young explorers will spend the day discovering the Arboretum’s trails and trees, creating festive crafts, and enjoying seasonal treats. Winter and spring sessions will introduce new hands-on themes that build curiosity and confidence in nature, from learning outdoor skills to exploring the science behind the world around us.

Between adventures, participants can come together for indoor crafts and games, share a snack with friends, and celebrate the natural world together.

What to know before you go:

• Bring a lunch and a refillable water bottle; we’ll provide a snack.

• Dress for the weather and wear comfortable outdoor clothing.

• Activities will take place both outdoors and inside the classroom.

The programming will be from 9AM - 4PM. Age level is K-5.

Pricing is $85 members / $95 non-members.
