Milkweed and Monarchs Camp in a Box

Supplies for 1 child • Add sibling packs if needed

Designed by experienced educators and outdoor learning specialists.

Bring the wonder of monarch butterflies right to your backyard with our Milkweed & Monarchs Camp in a Box! Designed for homeschool families, nature clubs, and curious young explorers.

This hands-on kit invites kids to slow down, explore nature up close, and experience one of the most magical life cycles on Earth — from tiny egg to soaring butterfly. Children will plant milkweed, observe monarchs, and discover how even small actions can make a big difference for the environment.

A refreshing screen-free science experience that gets kids exploring outdoors. Spring and summer are the best seasons to plant milkweed and observe monarch activity.
