This all-levels camp is designed to introduce campers to the joys of kayaking throughout the beautiful Hudson Valley. Our goal is for participants to build paddling skills, confidence, and make friends in a safe, exciting, and fun atmosphere.

An Environmentalist membership ($125), valid through the program date, is required to attend camp. Only one membership is required per family. Memberships are good for one full year.

HOW TO REGISTER

STEP ONE: Create an account. We recommend you do this before the day of registration using this link. If you have attended a program or supported FRNC in the past, it is likely that we already have an account on file for you which you can recover using the "forgot password" option and entering your email. If you are new to the Nature Center and our programs, you can create a new account.

STEP TWO: Apply online. You will submit your child's information and select the weeks you would like them to attend. PAC weeks will be listed after the day camp weeks on the registration form.

STEP THREE: Payment.
Once you submit the online form, you will be redirected to PayPal to complete your payment. If you do not have a PayPal account you can still use the platform to pay with a debit or credit card. Your payment will be incomplete if you navigate away from PayPal before submission.

STEP FOUR: Complete waivers and health forms. FRNC will follow up for additional information. If your membership is not up to date, you will be instructed to renew at this time.

Throughout the week, campers are given opportunities to improve:

• Leadership skills—by guiding portions of our water and land routes while staff supervises from the background.

• Team building—by working as a group to lift and carry kayaks, offering each other positive feedback,and encouraging one another to hike that last mile.

• Self-confidence—by seeing their hard work pay off when they reach the top of that day’s mountain or when they pull out their kayak at the end of a five-mile paddle.

CANCELLATION POLICY

No refunds or credits will be given towards other programs, camps, or events if you cancel your enrollment. In the event you need to cancel, a tax receipt will be issued to you indicating that the program fee was converted to a charitable donation. Membership is non-refundable.
