Teatown Natural Science Day Camps

Teatown Natural Science Day Camps offer natural science day camps during the summer and school breaks that include hiking, bird walks, crafts and games for children, and environmental education programs. Campers may visit Teatown’s resident Animal Ambassadors and see wildlife exhibits as part of their experience. Families connected with the camps can also attend live bird shows spotlighting birds of prey, view eagles through spotting scopes, shop at the nature store, and schedule a tour to Wildflower Island.

Teatown Natural Science Day Camps are part of Teatown, an environmental science, research, and education organization with a 50+ year history. The organization’s mission is to inspire the community to lifelong environmental stewardship. Teatown is led by Executive Director Kevin Carter and is an accredited land trust that protects 1,000 acres in the Lower Hudson Valley, including 15 miles of hiking trails and a two-acre island refuge for over 230 species of native wildflowers. Teatown received national recognition as an Accredited Land Trust from the Land Trust Alliance’s Land Trust Accreditation Commission and was awarded a $1.5 million grant to advance forest restoration research projects. Teatown engages 20,000 children and families through camps, field trips, and programs, and provides scholarships and field trip support for under-resourced schools. The campus is undergoing a major transformation to create more accessible, sustainable, and engaging spaces, including a new Education Center and updates to trails and parking.
