Vacation Day Camp

When school is out, kids 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.  Vacation day camps are offered in every season. For more information about summer camps, please visit our Summer Nature Day Camp page.
