Campers get a unique, behind-the-scenes opportunity to discover how the New York Botanical Garden conducts field research on the Bronx River and beyond.
The New York Botanical Garden's Summer Field Science Camp offers middle schoolers an immersive experience in real-world science. Campers will actively engage in collecting data and exploring local wildlife, with a special focus on how NYBG conducts research on the Bronx River and its surrounding ecosystem. This program provides a behind-the-scenes look at scientific investigations, allowing students to understand ecological principles through direct observation and hands-on activities. Participants will develop skills in scientific inquiry, data collection, and environmental awareness, fostering a deeper connection to the natural world and an understanding of conservation efforts.
Campers spend the day outdoors on the 250-acre NYBG campus, engaging in activities like hiking, experimenting, and exploring wildlife.
This camp is ideal for tweens who enjoy nature, teamwork, and hands-on, messy scientific exploration.
