Camp Trillium
The Coolest Camp for the Coolest Kids
Your child will create lasting memories while exploring the wonders of nature at Camp Trillium’s summer day camp.
Nestled within a stunning 200-acre nature preserve, Camp Trillium invites children to ignite their curiosity and discover the wonders of the natural world. Through immersive, hands-on experiences with local wildlife, plants, and cultural heritage, each day becomes an unforgettable adventure. With a perfect blend of discovery, play, and a little bit of dirt, campers grow through meaningful experiences while having the time of their lives.
Entering its fifth year, Camp Trillium welcomes Camp Director Katie Burrows back for her third summer.

We are excited for yet another incredible season under Katie’s expert leadership!
