​​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 medical/special needs 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.
