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.

Jurassic Explorers Camp July 20-24, 2026 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.

Webs, Wings, and Scaly Things Camp July 27-31, 2026   We invite young, brave scientists to step into the hidden world of creatures that crawl, slither, flutter, and spin. Campers become junior naturalists for a week packed with scales, wings, webs, and hands-on discovery. Campers dig into the science behind how reptiles and insects survive—investigating exoskeletons, camouflage, silk‑spinning, and more. 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.
