SUMMER CONNECTION CAMP
Calling all outdoor explorers ages 3 - 11!
Spend summer days exploring, creating, and growing in nature. Bridges Summer Connection Camp at Brenton Arboretum offers children an engaging, outdoor-based experience rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and meaningful connection. Campers spend their days hiking wooded trails, participating in hands-on projects, engaging in creative expression, and building lasting peer relationships—all guided by experienced Bridges educators.
Our program supports whole-child development, thoughtfully balancing freedom and structure within a beautiful natural setting that fosters confidence, resilience, creativity, and a strong sense of belonging.
