Environmental Arts & Awareness Camp (Entering Grades 1-4)

This is the perfect camp for the camper who is looking for a blend of activities and discussion centered on the exploration of environmental concerns such as the conservation and preservation of the planet. Although the camp is held indoors there will be daily outdoor activities and explorations both locally and on assorted field trips. Field trips for the past few years have included; The New Liberty Science Center, West Orange Environmental Center, Sandy Hook, Jenkinson’s Aquarium, etc. All campers will participate in environmental discussions and make arts and crafts using recycled products and/or materials directly from the environment. Campers will have swim instruction and free swim two times a week, enjoy nature hikes collecting specimens and be involved in sculpture and molding projects.
