NEW JERSEY AUDUBON CAMPS
Welcome to the New Jersey Audubon Society Camp experience. We provide a highly-trained Environmental Educator for each of our camps and limit class size based on optimal teacher-student ratios. A good portion of each day will be spent outside developing a deeper connection with the natural world through fun and informative activities. Camps run from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. daily.  Summer Camps cost $275 per week before April 15th, 2011 and $290 per week after April 15th, 2011. Campers can choose one week or join us for the entire summer. Vacation Camps cost $55 per day.  Space is limited so make your selection today. See you at camp!  Pre-registration is mandatory. Visit our Nature Camp page for more information.

To schedule a visit contact our Education Staff at 609-897-9400 Tuesday through Saturday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.  Programs are 90 minutes long and cost $100 for the first 10 scouts unless otherwise noted.  Each additional scout or sibling is $10.00.  There is no cost for leaders and chaperones.  A $50 per program deposit will hold your reservation.  Deposits are non-refundable within 14 days of your scheduled visit.  Spring and Autumn dates fill up quickly so be sure to make your reservations early.  Many programs are taught outside and run rain or shine, so please dress appropriately.  Download our Cub Scout and Girl Scout Brochure for more information.
