About School Break Camps

When school is out, kids in Pre-k through 6th grade can keep learning and have fun too! Campers explore the Tenafly Nature Center woods and trails, make crafts, share stories and play games while learning about the environment. School Break day camps are offered in every season and the activities vary by the season. We are also accepting Jr. CIT’s in 7th & 8th grade to assist our youngest campers!

Sign up early. Don’t let your child miss out on fun, hands-on nature experiences, outdoor discovery, and the chance to explore our native hardwood forest and pond ecosystems. Select the camp session below to see more specifics about details about the program offerings.

Pre-K must be a minimum of 4 year old. All children must be bathroom independent. For the safety of our staff and campers, TNC staff do not go into the bathroom with campers.
