Welcome to The Nature Place
We’re glad you found us.
The Nature Place is an outdoor summer day camp for campers ages 4-16 located in Chestnut Ridge, NY. It’s a short bus ride from the New York Metro area to our magical 200 acres of streams, forests, fields, and farmlands.
Learn About Summer Camp
- Learn about a typical day at camp, and how activities progress based on age & peer group.
- Learn all about activities at camp, from outdoor skills, swim, and camping, to earth art, African drumming, and garden-to-table cooking (and MUCH more).
We Ask Families to Enroll for 4, 5, or 6 Weeks. Why?
Our enrollment model blooms from our mission and core values: helping campers build connections with themselves, one another, and the earth. We believe this gift of time is instrumental to helping campers build long-lasting friendships as well as skills they’ll take with them for life.
