Winter Break Camp 1st-5th

When school is out, 1^st-5^th grade kids can keep learning and have fun too! Children will explore TNC woods and trails, make crafts, share stories and play games while learning about the environment. 

Winter-themed activities may include searching for animal tracks, eating s’mores around the campfire for Friday campers and more. Sign up early. Don't let your child miss out on fun, hands-on nature experiences, outdoor discovery, and the chance to explore our native hardwood forest and pond ecosystems.

Full day is 9:00-3:30 pm

Children should bring a refillable water bottle, two snacks, and lunch. Layers and rain/snow gear are recommended (rain boots, snow pants, jacket, hat, gloves, etc.). A participant daily checklist can be found on our school break day camp web page. Rain or shine. Children may attend individual days or half days.

To Register:

2. Click the Register button, complete the form, and pay with a credit card. 
3. Wait for your confirmation email and use the link to log into our online health system: CAMPDOCS. (May take up to a week to receive email)

This is where you will tell us about your camper, fill out health information, emergency contacts, other important safety data, and submit the following required files:The Mandatory Health Packet: Universal Health Record from your child’s health care provider. 

Including an Immunization History:

• Please note, if your health care provider will not be including a complete immunization form the Health Department requires a written statement signed by the parent or guardian explaining how the administration of immunizing agents conflicts with the camper’s exercise of bona fide religious tenets or practices. General philosophical or moral objection to immunization shall not be sufficient for an exemption on religious grounds. 
  
• A copy of your insurance card.
  
• A copy of any information regarding your child's activity restrictions/special needs (ex. IEP, ISFP).
• Complete the form submission through CAMPDOCS 7 days prior to the start of the camp session. New Jersey state law requires that campers submit a current health record each year.

Failure to submit all forms to TNC 7 days before the first day of camp will result in forfeiture of your registration fee. No exceptions.
