Welcome to Summer Camp at Barton Springs Nursery!

Get ready for a week of wonder, creativity, and hands-on adventure in the heart of nature. Our 2025 summer camp kicks off the week of July 7 from 9:00 AM-2:00 PM, and we can’t wait to welcome your little explorers for a truly memorable experience.

Designed especially for children ages 3-5, BSN Summer Camp blends gardening, nature discovery, sensory crafts, and outdoor play under the shady canopy of our oak trees. Led by our caring, knowledgeable and inspiring counselors, campers will dig, plant, build, and create while making new friends and deepening their connection to the natural world.

From feeding our tortoises and axolotl to planting their very own take-home plant, each day offers something new to spark curiosity and joy. Each day of the camp will center around the different animals we have here: Axolotl, Tortoises, Birds, Turtles and Fish. This is summer the way it should be—rooted in nature, filled with imagination, and lived outdoors.
