The Gardens at Heather Farm is excited to introduce Camp Mighty Acorn, a new summer day camp offering six weeks of enriching and engaging activities in a healthy, natural environment.
Camp Mighty Acorn is the perfect summer experience for elementary grade-level kids who love to be inspired by the world around them. Campers will spend their days exploring the wonders of nature. They’ll discover the tiny worlds that exist under leaves on the ground, get to know the amazing wildlife that inhabits local creeks and ponds, and investigate ecosystems that can be found around the world.
Beginning June 13 and running through July 29, each one of our six sessions of camp will be focused on a different ecosystem including woodland, rainforest, coral reef, desert and more. All week-long camp sessions are offered on half-day or full-day schedules, with discounts for members of The Gardens at Heather Farm.
