Summer Camp 2025
Lockerly Arboretum’s Camp Discovery provides children with opportunities to learn, examine, explore, and play amongst the many natural wonders the Arboretum has to offer. All camps are led by Kensey Amerson, Director of Education, and GCSU student employees. Camp includes hands-on learning activities and games that teach children to be curious about the natural world.
