Summer Camps 2024

Four-day camps, June 17–August 9, 2024

Summer Camps are offered at Dodge Nature Center this year between June 17 and August 9. Camps run Monday–Thursday, 8:15 a.m.–3:00 p.m. and are for kids entering Grades 1–2, 3–5, and 6–8. Cost and location vary by camp. Need-based scholarships are available to those who qualify.

For ages 3–5, see Dodge Nature Preschool’s six-week summer program.

How Summer Camp Works


To provide equitable access to camp for all families, we used a lottery process that went live in February. Thank you for your patience as our small team worked through the hiccups of this new system.

After processing registrations and placing waitlisted kids in camps, there are spots left in select camps. Registration is now open to the public for the remaining spaces on a first-come-first-served basis. See step-by-step registration instructions below.

How to register


If you’re in need of financial assistance, complete a scholarship application (en español) before registering. Staff will review your application and notify you of your discount.

  1. Go to the Summer Camp Choices page linked below. Choose a camp from the list. Click ‘Register Now’—you’ll be redirected to an event page.
  2. Under ‘Camp Payment’, submit payment. Stay on the event page.
  3. Under ‘Camper Information Form 2024’, fill out and submit the form.

You’ll receive a confirmation email for both payment and the Camper Information Form. Congrats—you’re all set for camp!
