Come and have some fun at Turlock Community Gardens' Camp Creative, an academic nature camp designed for children between the ages of 2 and 10 and their caregiver/s. Camp Creative will consist of two sessions, with each running from Monday through Thursday. The sessions will include nature-based crafts, gardening lessons, and various learning opportunities that will enhance children's literacy skills, instill a love for science, foster creativity in the arts, and encourage them to enjoy outdoor activities.

Registration is FREE.
All materials to participate will be provided.

*Children must be accompanied by an adult. Limit one session per family.

“Turlock Community Gardens (TCG) is committed to promoting inclusivity and equity by ensuring that all families, regardless of their financial circumstances, can actively participate and benefit from the program. TCG has waved all registration fees, which will enable children from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds to come together, interact, and share valuable experiences within our community garden.”
