In 2011, children investigated weather, explored seasonal adaptations of plants and animals, and enjoyed a visit to our Wonderland Express holiday exhibition. Writers' Theatre provided campers with activities which developed their creative expression.

This fun camp offers kids in Chicago's North Shore suburbs a wide variety of activities that take advantage of the facilities and expertise at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
