URWA’s Nature Day Camp programs offer children a unique outdoor learning experience. By using nature as a classroom, children develop a strong appreciation for the outdoors, and learn how to protect our natural environment. Each course is led by URWA’s Associate Naturalists and trained assistants. Campers discover wildlife, habitats, adaptations, plants, and more through field activities, stories, crafts and hands-on projects.
*Non-Members: Only one $50 family membership fee needs to be paid at the time of registration. For example, if a non-member would like to register two children for Nature Explorers, they would put one non-member fee of $185 in their basket and one member fee of $135 in their basket. Please Contact Lauren at ltheis@urwa.org or 908.234.1852 x12 with any questions."Nature Explorers"
