Our Summer Camp offers something for every age, preschool-11th grade!
Onsite camp for elementary and middle school students is from 9am-3pm Monday-Friday for 8 weeks this summer!
Held in our 47-acre forest, our day camp experience provides adventure, ecological exploration, and the ideal opportunity to explore the outdoors. A hands-on approach to scientific inquiry connects everyone to nature through environmental stewardship activities in a fun, relaxed setting.

Naturalists in Training (Grades 6 and 7) - Our NITS enjoy the freedom and responsibilities of being the oldest campers. A typical day includes teacher-led activities with FRNC staff as well as time to pursue the group’s own interests and develop outdoor skills. (9am-3pm; Thursdays are 9am-5:30pm for a cookout and exploration!)
Discoverers (Grades K-5) - Discoverers enjoy a variety of nature and science activities throughout the week. Hiking, natural history, art, and STEM projects fill these campers’ days. During free time, campers cool off in our sprinklers, play games, visit with our animals, and build friendships. (9am-3pm) Limited Space.
Explorers (half-day, Preschool and K) - Afternoon session available: 1pm-4pm. Designed for our youngest campers’ growing minds and bodies, our Explorers program is grounded in early childhood educational values and promotes nature exploration and inquiry. Each day is structured to build confidence and skills as children discover the Nature Center’s forest, wildlife, animals, ponds, and garden.
Paddle Adventure Camp (Grade 8, 9, 10 and 11) - This all-levels camp is designed to introduce campers to the joys of kayaking and hiking throughout the beautiful Hudson Valley.
