The Nature Place is an ACA accredited, non-competitive and nature-oriented day camp for children ages 4-16, located on 200 beautiful acres in Rockland County, NY. We have been nurturing children’s connections to each other and to the natural world for over 38 years. Campers come to us (we bus!) from Manhattan, Rockland, Westchester Counties in New York, and Bergen and Hudson Counties in New Jersey. Arriving at The Nature Place, campers discover a small camp (an average of 275 children), innovative, pressure-free programming, and an exceptionally caring and well-trained staff. They do not find competitive sports, loudspeakers, TV, or video games. Instead, campers get outside, explore, create, cooperate, play and wonder.
