Teatown Natural Science Day Camps

Teatown Natural Science Day Camps are part of Teatown’s natural science day camps offered in the summer and during school breaks. Campers take part in activities such as hiking, including the Three Lakes Hike, and programs like Handling the Heat. The program is connected to environmental education programs, wildlife exhibits, and opportunities to schedule a tour to Wildflower Island.
