Summer Nature Camps

Our summer camps are designed to get kids outside to explore and learn about the environment. Camp activities include nature walks, bird watching, fishing, dip-netting, gardening, geocaching, flower pressing, games, crafts, stories, and much more.

Who should attend our Summer Camps?

The Environmental Institute of Houston welcomes students entering grades 1 - 8 who want to learn about their natural surroundings. EIH will provide many opportunities for outdoor exploration, wildlife observation, and fun.

Registration closes on Monday before each camp. Reservations not paid in full within seven (7) days of the camp start date will be placed on the waitlist.
