Scout & Youth Group Campouts Experience the Regenstein Learning Campus the way few visitors can—by sleeping over. Enjoy a low-stress camping experience with flushing toilets and running water. Groups can choose to sleep outside (bring your own camp- ing gear or rent a tent) or inside the building. Please plan to spend the night as the Garden is unable to accommodate evening-only par- ticipants. Activities are suited for participants ages 6 and up. Participants will enjoy s’mores, projects, and a special visit from FrogLady—a professional, award-winning naturalist who specializes in live reptile and amphibian shows. Cub Scout and Girl Scout groups or any other youth groups with kids in grades K through 5 are welcome to register. Scout and youth groups require at least one adult for every five Scouts and each tent must have at least one adult. All Scout and Youth Group Campouts include s’mores and hands-on projects. $55/person | Learning Center 6 p.m. Friday – 8 a.m. Saturday September 6 – 7 September 13 – 14 Scout Seasonal Workshop: Winter Wonders Scouts can discover the magic of nature in winter through hands-on activities that com- bine art and science. Scouts will take a winter wildlife hike through the Garden and make a fragrant evergreen swag and a beeswax candle. Adults should plan to stay with their Scouts for the duration of the program. At least one adult chaperone for every five Scouts is required.
