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. 

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. 

New for 2024 – All campers get a camp t-shirt! Check out the great design by our staff member and camp counselor, Anna Stunkel:
