Registration for Summer 2025 is now open!

Fresh air, muddy feet and new friends are all part of what makes our Nature Day Camp so special!

For 29 years, children have come to Fairview Farm Wildlife Preserve in Gladstone, where 170 acres of forests, meadows, streams and a pond invite young explorers outdoors. Our camp is tech-free, so campers and counselors are fully present and interactive!

Each day at Nature Day Camp is a magical experience. Structured and unstructured play time allow children to interact on their own terms with nature. Curiosity and wonder abound, and our activities, crafts, games and storytelling provide positive outdoor experiences and memories that last a lifetime!

Raritan Headwaters has Nature Day Camp programs for children ages 3 to 12, Junior Counselor opportunities for ages 13 and up, and Watershed University programs for students in High School.
