UPDATE ON 2026 CAMPER REGISTRATION OPENING:
We're really looking forward to our 2026 camp session, which will be held July 20-24th! Last year's camp filled quickly, and this year we are improving our registration process to make things smoother for families. The new process is almost ready, and we are targeting registration to open around the second week of March. We will post the exact date and time on this webpage as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience and interest in Garden Guardians Camp!
Coming - July 20-24, 2026
​​The Garden Guardians Summer Camp is a five-day camp with supervised activities for children entering 1st through 6th grade, set in our urban garden at the Albuquerque Garden Center. Each summer, we provide a unique summer camp experience, blending environmental education with traditional camp fun. Working together, children learn to become guardians of the earth through practical gardening experiences, nature walks, games, arts/crafts, and guest speakers. Our camp goal is to help children develop a life-long love of gardening, a respect for the environment, a passion for giving back to the world, and above all, to have FUN!

Please note: Our primary goal is to ensure a fantastic camp experience for all campers. Please let us know in the comments section of the registration form if your child has any special needs, and one of our camp co-organizers will reach out to discuss how we can best accommodate those needs. In the rare instance that a camper's behavior is significantly disruptive to other campers and camp staff, we reserve the right to discontinue their participation, with a full refund of the registration fee.
