day camps - at the dunwoody nature center, we feature 22 acres and four distinct habitats that allow our campers to explore nature in a structured environment. By combining play and learning, children are able to grow and develop at their own pace and better understand how they are a part of the larger world. In 2017, the nature center served 804 children through our camps.
festivals - the butterfly festival featured a day full of activities, with the purpose of giving visitors an up close and personal educational experience with butterflies. The festival included three tents featuring 250 to 300 butterflies each where guests walked through and actually experienced being surrounded by the butterflies. Experts were there to answer any questions visitors might have about the species. Other activities included a raptor show, garden tours, a magic show, a family music show and many craft stations.
