Shhhh! Secrets of the Forest: A Nature Mystery Camp July 13th-17th
2026-07-13 - 2026-07-17 | Burritt on the Mountain, 3101 Burritt Dr., Huntsville, AL, 35801, United States
Shhhh! Secrets of the Forest: A Nature Mystery Camp
July 13-17, 2026
Join us for a week of outdoor discovery and imaginative exploration. Set on Burritt’s beautiful grounds, this camp invites children to slow down, look closely, and connect with the natural world through a story-based mystery woven throughout the week. As campers explore Burritt’s trails, farm areas, and outdoor spaces, they will follow a nature-themed storyline that encourages them to observe animal tracks, habitats, and behaviors. Guided by our staff — and inspired by the wildlife that lives on and around the mountain — children will investigate clues, notice patterns in nature, and learn how animals move through the landscape in search of food, shelter, and safe places to rest. With plenty of fresh air, open spaces for games, and time to make new friends, campers will enjoy a balanced mix of exploration, hands-on crafts, and active play each day. One day during the week will include a longer hike on Burritt’s nature trails (weather permitting) as part of the ongoing adventure.
Registration deadline Tuesday, July 7, 2026

Jurassic Explorers Camp

Can you tell whether this tail bone comes from a T. rex or a Stegosaurus? Where do fossils come from? Just how big is a Velociraptor? Curiosity is at its peak—and it’s the perfect time for Jurassic Explorers! Burritt invites your young paleontologist to a dinosaur-themed adventure packed with hands-on science and imaginative play. Campers will use microscopes to explore cells, dig for “dinosaur bones,” create an erupting volcano, investigate “dinosaur eggs,” and hike the trail in search of limestone “pancakes,” fossils, and other natural treasures. With silly crafts and outdoor adventures, your explorer will have a roaring good time discovering the world of dinosaurs!

A live animal menagerie brings the learning to life, giving every child a front‑row seat to real reptiles and other fascinating creepy crawlies in action. Designed to spark curiosity, this camp nurtures respect for living things, sharpens observation skills, and promotes a sense of wonder about the natural world as we learn about some of the world’s most misunderstood creatures!
