• Nature Day Camp at the Yakima Area Arboretum

  07/27/2026

  Kids and Family Classes and Workshops Outdoor

  Summer Day Camp  Weeks, Camps run from 9 am to 3 pm

  Week 7- July 27 to July 31 Leap, Slither, and Crawl (1st-3rd) and Call, Growl, and Howl (4th-7th)

  Explore the creatures of the Yakima Area Arboretum. Younger campers spend their days looking for smaller creatures that might be leaping, slithering, or crawling through the grounds and trees. Older campers learn about larger and stealthier animals, focusing on their sounds and identifying their tracks. This camp theme is only offered once for 2026!

  What better way for your child to spend their summer than outside in the fresh air and sun at Yakima Area Arboretum's Nature Day Camp! Our camp themes help guide the games, lessons, activities, and exploration of each camp week. Themes will also help focus the camp towards your child’s interest and add variety for our multi-week campers. However, nature being nature, we also reserve the right to switch it up a bit if a unique opportunity presents itself, i.e. taking the time to literally stop and smell the roses during Survivor, or sitting quietly and listening to the American bullfrog bellow his tune during Arts and Crafts week. As we like to say, “There is always something new to do and view at the Arboretum.”
