Summer Camp
At the San Antonio Botanical Garden, campers can find their inner nature steward as they explore the wonders of the outdoors through hands-on art, science, and cooking activities.
Spend summer days exploring, creating, cooking, and getting a little dirty in the best way possible. San Antonio Botanical Garden Summer Camps invite kids and teens ages 5–17 to dig into hands-on adventures that blend nature, art, science, and culinary creativity.
This year, we’ve extended our camp day to allow for an even richer mix of activities, outdoor exploration, and garden-inspired fun. Whether your camper loves bugs, color, cooking, or asking why, there’s a camp waiting for them.

Campers must meet the minimum age by the first day of their camp session.
Registration closes 72 hours before each camp week. Spots are limited and camps fill quickly. We recommend registering early to secure your camper’s place in a summer full of discovery.
Extended care is a new add-on option we will be adding this year.
For families that need to pick up their campers later than 3:30 p.m. (after the camp session has concluded), the Camp staff provides extended care Monday through Friday from 3:30 – 5 p.m. and is only offered to campers enrolled in a Day Camp program. The cost is $50 per camper per week. Together, campers and counselors will decide on the schedule.
Price: $50 per camper per week
