Camp Grow offers a weeklong summer day camp for children ages 5–12 who enjoy the outdoors, getting their hands dirty, and discovering the wonders of nature through exploration and play. Located at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, VA, campers spend their days gardening, observing plants and animals, and learning how nature works through hands-on discovery activities.

Each day blends meaningful nature-based learning with classic playful camp activities, including games, crafts, hikes, creative projects, and time outdoors. Campers are encouraged to ask questions, try new things, and connect with the natural world in engaging and age-appropriate ways.

Experienced and enthusiastic staff support the unique needs of each group, adapting activities for different ages, abilities, and interests. Camp Grow emphasizes curiosity, confidence, cooperation, and a sense of belonging, creating a welcoming environment where kids can grow, explore, and have an unforgettable summer experience.
