Sprout Camp is a three-day camp running throughout the summer that allows parents to tag along as their youngster explores the great outdoors during Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of each week. They will discover the Garden from an insect's perspective, "pollinate" flowers and go on a bug hunt. Hands-on activities and fascinating facts make young learners eager to find out more about the habitats and critters in their own backyards.

Little sprouts should be accompanied by one adult. The camp week runs from 9:30 am-11:30 am Wednesday through Friday. There are eight weeks for parents to choose from, beginning June 5. There is no Sprout Camp the week of July 4. A one week session is $80 for Riverbanks Society members and $130 for the general public. Parents should call (803) 779-8717, x1799 to sign up their sprouts.
