Gardening/Horticulture Education Youth Programs - Arboretum Favorites - Summer Camp

**Attention** 

Due to NJ State regulations on how summer camps are staffed/operated when working with minors, the MCPC will be adapting its policies on how Volunteers can assist with our summer camp programs at all sites. Volunteers will need to attend a mandatory training and submit to a background check (volunteers agree to this when acknowledging the Applicant Statement during the application process). Volunteers may request to assist with camps at this time, but will not be approved until training and background checks have been completed. Camp Volunteer Training to be posted at a later date.

Please read through the Frelinghuysen Camp Volunteer Documents located in the Document Library before signing up for this program. 

 

"All the Frelinghuysen Arboretum's camp favorites packed into one week. Art, gardens, creatures real and imaginary, food, hikes, and much more for kids who like a little of everything all at once."

This is an all-day camp, split into AM/PM shifts, that will have new topics and activities each shift! It's a summer camp that's a hodge-podge of all our favorite hits! The schedule/activity is listed below

This program is available to attendees up to age 12. Volunteering opportunities are available to those aged 14 and up. 

Volunteers scheduled for the camp shifts will help set up, tear down, and assist campers and staff throughout the day's activities. Volunteers are asked to arrive 15 min before a scheduled shift and stay 15 min after to help our staff with set up/clean up.
