Camp Chicory will welcome up to 9 campers aged 6-10 each week, and is open to children with any level of experience--including none--in outdoor exploration. All that is needed is curiosity and attention. For younger campers, bear in mind we will be doing a fair amount of walking/hiking (up to 2 miles over the course of the day) in a variety of weather conditions. For older campers, leadership opportunities will be available, as well as time to explore their independent interests more deeply.
Threaded through all the weeks will be a child-friendly introduction to the idea of stewardship, with a focus on how our actions impact our fellow creatures and the land. Nurturing each child's natural curiosity about the world around them is our goal!
Camp Chicory will be heldo the weeks of July 3rd, July 10th and July 24th. Camp runs Monday - Friday from 9:00AM - 3:00PM. Aftercare is available for an extra fee.
Chicory Naturalist (25 Broadway / Kingston, NY) is home base for camp, for drop-off, pick-up, and afternoon downtime. However for the better part of each day, campers will explore the Rondout and visit lots of neighborhood treasures, including the local community garden, Forest Sanctuary, rail trail, and Hasbrouk Park. Caregivers will receive a schedule in advance of each week of camp with the locations/activities of each day.
