Urban Gardening Camp

Cultivating Skills. Growing Leaders.

This summer, Possibilitech invites youth ages 8–11, to dig deep into nature, science, and sustainability at our, Urban Gardening Camp, a fun, hands-on experience that brings the adventure of the natural world to the heart of the city.

Campers will embark on an exciting journey to explore biodiversity and urban ecosystems through the lens of gardening. From the tiniest soil microbes to the buzzing bees and blooming flowers, participants will discover how every living thing plays a role in a thriving environment even in the middle of a city.

Through daily hands-on activities, campers will:

• Learn plant biology, soil science, and composting

• Explore the role of sun, water, and energy in plant growth

• Discover urban wildlife and the importance of pollinators

• Understand how ecosystems work—even in concrete landscapes

• Design, build, and care for their own small garden plots

• Make connections between gardening, nutrition, and food justice

• Develop leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills

Campers will also take part in a community garden service project, applying what they’ve learned to help grow something meaningful for others.

Whether it’s their first time digging in the dirt or they’re already passionate about the planet, campers will walk away with a greater understanding of how nature works—and how they can be a part of sustaining it.
