The Nature Place Day Camp - The Nature Place Day Camp

The Nature Place is an ACA-accredited, nature-oriented and non-competitive summer day camp for children ages 4-16, located on 200 acres in Chestnut Ridge, NY. Through experiential outdoor play, and cooperative rather than competitive games, we encourage within each of our campers a sense of wonder towards the natural world. We offer a variety of activities through which we explore these values: gardening, outdoor skills, cooking, swimming, earth art, games, hiking, music, drama, rock climbing, African dance & drumming, farming and much more.
