Field Science Camps for Youth Entering Grades 6-8 in Fall 2020

Do you have a tween who loves spending time outdoors, collecting data and working in teams? Students will get wet and dirty as they learn more about the plants and animals on the Garden grounds and go behind the scenes to find out about field research happening at the Garden, in the city, and around the world!

If the week you are interested in is sold out, you may proceed below to add your camper to the Waitlist. You will not be charged until you are called off the Waitlist.

EcoQuest Camp
August 3–7
Campers explore unique ecosystems to collect data on biodiversity. Soil testing, forest diversity sampling, and water quality monitoring are some of the methods campers will practice as they gather information and report on findings.

Kids Count! Citizen Science Camp
August 10–14
Campers learn about citizen science projects happening all over the world, and participate in projects happening at NYBG. Teams use tools such as iNaturalist to observe plants and animals, and contribute data to science.

Earth Avengers Camp
August 17–21
Campers make a difference at NYBG! Learn about native and exotic plant and animal species. Campers can advocate for natural habitat restoration by creating seed “bombs,” bird and bat houses, and insect hotels.
