    SUMMER FUN !!

    The Closter Nature Center is proud to offer its annual summer camp program to children ages 4 – 14. For over 45 years, campers have had an opportunity to explore the Nature Center’s 136 acres of ponds, streams, meadows and forests in a fun and nurturing environment. Our campers hike, dig, wade in the water, and examine nature, all under the supervision of a trained naturalist and an assistant. The 2019 summer program will begin on June 24th and continue for 9, possibly 10 weeks ending either August 22nd or 29th. Camp sessions will be either morning or afternoon, Monday through Thursday. Campers can sign up for one or more 4-day weeks. Each weekly program will offer different activities suitable to the age group, children’s interests and the weather. Campers ages 4 – 6 will meet each day for 2-hours, with weekly fees of $80 for members, $100 for non-members. Campers ages 7 – 11, and 12-14 meet for 3-hours each day, with weekly fees of $100 for members, $120 for non-members.
