The Arboretum at Flagstaff: Creature Detectives Summer Camp
July 13 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
$290 – $360
This week campers investigate the Arboretum to uncover the many animals that call it home, from tiny insects and hidden amphibians to mammals that move through forests and fields. Through guided nature hikes and up-close animal encounters, kids learn how animals survive and adapt within their environments, discovering the connections between habitat, behavior, and survival.
Campers will search for animal signs like tracks, scat, and burrows, building real wildlife detective skills as they observe carefully, ask questions, and piece together clues left behind in nature. Along the way they’ll practice scientific thinking, teamwork, and respectful outdoor ethics while developing confidence exploring the natural world. Each day blends hands-on investigation, creative games, and expert guidance from our educators to spark curiosity, independence, and a lifelong appreciation for local wildlife.
Ages 5 – 11
July 13 – 17
