The greatest gift a child can receive is a sense of wonder that will last a lifetime.

What is The Nature Place?

An ACA accredited, non-competitive and nature-oriented day camp for children ages 4-16, located on 200 acres in Rockland County, NY. Campers come to us (we bus!) from Manhattan, Rockland, Westchester and Bergen counties.

Our Mission:

To give campers a safe summer in which they can be themselves, have fun, be challenged, connect with others and the earth, develop new life skills and be supported throughout.

At The Nature Place…

Campers discover hands-on, pressure-free programming and an exceptionally well-trained staff. They do not find competitive sports, awards, color wars, TV or video games. Instead, campers get outside, explore, create and play.
