Become part of Hawaii’s conservation story

What: The Lyon Arboretum’s Education Department would like to invite your children to join us for a week of learning, exploring, and creating in the Mānoa rainforest! For our Spring program, our theme is “Made In Nature” and will incorporate an array of activities including, but not limited to, informal science, hiking the grounds, nature-based art and craft projects, Kapa making with Wes Sen, cooking, field biological surveys, and kokua within our Children’s Garden.

We hope that the experiences your child has at Nature Camp helps foster a positive relationship with the environment, and foster the idea of themselves as land stewards. It promises to be a week of fun-filled learning that your child will always remember!

When: March 19th – 23rd , 2017 (Monday-Friday) from 8:30am*—2:30pm.
*Children may be dropped off no earlier than 8:00am each morning

Who: This year’s Spring camp is open to children in grades K-6, who are physically able to participate in outdoor activities for up to an hour at a time, and revel in participating in activities regardless of the elements (Sun? Rain? Mosquitoes? Mud? No problem!). Camp participants are expected to be able to take direction and follow guidance from the Lyon Education Staff and  constructively and safely work together in large or small groups, with up to 19 other children of varying ages and backgrounds.

Cost: The camp cost is $250 for the week (Monday-Friday). No partial payments or discounts.
