• Nature Day Camp at The Yakima Area Arboretum

  08/17/2026

  Kids and Family Classes and Workshops Outdoor

  Summer Day Camp  Weeks, Camps run from 9 am to 3 pm

  Week 10- August 17 to August 21 Best of Camp (1st-3rd and 4th-7th)  

  Kids will end the summer with a week filled with a little bit of everything! High energy games, group projects, crafting survival gear, going on off-grounds expeditions, making creature creations and more. This is a fun week-long "field day" experience for the campers at the end of summer before school starts up the following week. This camp theme is only offered once for 2026!

  What better way for your child to spend their summer than outside in the fresh air and sun at Yakima Area Arboretum's Nature Day Camp! Our camp themes help guide the games, lessons, activities, and exploration of each camp week. Themes will also help focus the camp towards your child’s interest and add variety for our multi-week campers. However, nature being nature, we also reserve the right to switch it up a bit if a unique opportunity presents itself, i.e. taking the time to literally stop and smell the roses during Survivor, or sitting quietly and listening to the American bullfrog bellow his tune during Arts and Crafts week. As we like to say, “There is always something new to do and view at the Arboretum.”
