First Saturday Tours are a wonderful way to introduce yourself to the Arboretum or to deepen your understanding of the Arboretum's plant collections. Each tour is a little different depending on the time of year, the interests of the tour guide and the people who join in. You might learn more about the birds and mammals that make this land their home or about the amazing physical adaptations that plants have evolved to better deal with extreme weather and climate conditions.

Tours given on the 1st Saturday of each month - at 11am

Tour is FREE with paid admission!

Meet your tour guide(s) at the entrance to the Visitor Parking lot. Walks will be about one hour.

Tours cancelled if the weather is unsuitable.

Each week-long session will be full of adventures on the farm! With hands-on activities in farming, art, and cooking, as well as hikes around our 150-acre organic farm, there's always something fun to do. Campers (ages 5-12) can expect to get their hands dirty while exploring pieces of Live Earth’s organic vegetable row crop production and fruit orchards. Campers will spend time getting to know our herd of goats, cow, pig, horses, and visit with the chickens. Campers will assist in daily chores of our animals, ride the tractor, learn from our farmers, and can also expect plenty of games, songs, tree climbing, art projects, nature exploration, and more!

We are also excited to host Leaders in Training (LITs) again this summer. LITs are local teens (ages 13+) who have the opportunity to work closely with our educators and farmers, while gaining valuable job skills. LITs help lead the summer camp groups and are encouraged to practice skills such as: conflict resolution, project management, lesson planning, teaching, mentorship, and more! LITs are also offered support in professional development such as resume building and interview prep.

We have scholarship funds available for campers & LITs to take advantage of! Submit an application on our website!
