Explorers Camp

For teens entering 9th, 10th, 11th grades

Join us for a week of exploration! In this immersive experience we will take campers to explore the biodiversity of the Refuge (Mon; 9am to 12pm) and learn about the unique habitats on Long Island with an offsite trip to Sunken Forest, Fire Island (Tues; 9am to 2:30pm) and a kayak adventure (Wed; 9am to 2pm). On Thursday, we’ll discover the secret mud trail at the Refuge (9am to 12pm), then explore the trails at night on Thursday evening and stay for a camp-over (7pm Thurs to 9am Fri). Parents must transport their campers to and from offsite locations on Tues & Wed. Further information will be emailed to you.

Parents must transport their campers to and from offsite trips on Tuesday (Sunken Forest Ferry Terminal) & Wednesday (Kayaking Launch Spot – will be provided). Detailed information will be provided.
