Deering Nature Camps
The Learning Program’s Seasonal Nature Camps are offered during select Teacher Planning Days (Mini Camp) and over Winter, Spring, and Summer breaks, aligning with Miami Dade County School’s.
Our camps aim to connect children to nature by allowing them to experience it first hand. Campers, ages 6-14, will dive into the mission of Deering Estate as they explore, learn, and become environmental stewards.
Miami Nature Camps & Educational Programs
Every camp session has a different theme and explores a different aspect of nature, allowing campers to have fun while also learning about different fields of science. With a diverse array of ecosystems that capture the essence of Florida’s wilderness, we encourage every child’s inner explorer. Hiking, biking, planting, kayaking, canoeing, snorkeling, swimming, dissecting, and discovering the endless possibilities at our 450+ acre park.
We do also separately offer homeschool enrichment programs during the school year.
