Delve Deeper into Nature
with Voyager Camps
Outdoor experiences for kids grades 5-8!
(Campers must be 10 years old)
Baltimore Woods is offering special themed camp sessions for experienced campers looking to try something new or delve deeper into natural history and science concepts. Led by our experienced staff educators and other local experts, these camps promise to be packed with fun and discovery. Camps meet daily from 9am-3pm and each session is limited to 10 campers.
Please read the descriptions carefully as several of the themes are repeated throughout the summer with no changes to the activities. Due to the high demand for our camps, we ask that families limit themselves to three sessions so that other children may enjoy our program, too.
All campers get a camp t-shirt! The 2026 design will feature original artwork by our own Environmental Educator and Camp Counselor, Anna Stunkel and will be announced soon.
