2010 Summer Camps & Programs in the North Jersey/Mendham Area
February 9th, 2010
It’s hard to think about summertime when it’s 25˚ outside, the wind is howling and there are a few inches of snow on the ground, but now is the time of year that many summer camps and programs begin registration. Depending on where you live, there are several good programs to choose from. Here are some of my favorites in the North Jersey/Mendham area:
Schiff Summer Nature Program - Schiff Nature Lands Trust in Mendham, NJ
Children ages 6 (entering first grade) to 12 are given the opportunity to play, explore and learn while developing a sense of community, self confidence and appreciation for the natural world.
