STEAM Camps
with IBG

Explore, Create, and Discover This Fall at IBG!

Get ready for a season of hands-on fun and discovery at the Idaho Botanical Garden! Our Fall STEAM Day Camps invite K–3rd graders (ages 5–8) to dive into science, art, and nature through engaging, activity-packed programs. Campers will explore ecosystems, conduct experiments, create nature-inspired art, and uncover the wonders of the natural world in our outdoor classroom and living museum.

Taking place on out-of-school days from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, these camps immerse learners in mostly outdoor experiences designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and a love for exploration. Whether it’s investigating owl pellets, digging for dinosaur fossils, or exploring the mysteries of space, every day offers new opportunities to learn, create, and connect with the Garden.

Perfect for young explorers in K–3rd grade (ages 5–8), our Fall STEAM Camps turn school breaks into exciting, hands-on adventures.
