Children who love the outdoors will thrive at Tenafly Nature Center’s Summer Camp! Led by our professional Environmental Educators, campers spend their days exploring the forest, hiking along TNC’s scenic trails, and enjoying hands-on activities like nature-inspired crafts, games, and outdoor adventures. Along the way, they’ll learn to identify native plants and wildlife, discover how ecosystems and habitats work, and experience the wonders of our nearly 400-acre preserve. From snapping turtles and bullfrogs to wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, and soaring red-tailed hawks, there’s always something exciting to spot in the wild.
We welcome children of all abilities and partner closely with families to ensure every camper has a joyful, meaningful, and memorable summer experience!
