Summerweek & Riverweek Day Camps

July 25 - 29
9:30 - 3:30
At Van Cortlandt Manor, the Nation is newly born. The wealthy Van Cortlandts live side-by-side with their slaves and the working class. Campers experience the daily lives of the manor's residents on the banks of the Croton River. There's lots of tasks to accomplish like making bricks, punching tin, spinning wool, and quilting. Plus, there's lots of fun to be had playing period games, fishing, and cooking a colonial luncheon.

Riverweek Day Camp (for ages 11 - 13)
Van Cortlandt Manor, Croton-on-Hudson, NY
August 1 - 5
9:30 - 3:30
Why did the Van Cortlandt Family settle on the banks of the Croton River? How did the Croton and Hudson Rivers affect their lives and our history? Experience this one-of-a-kind day camp where campers examine the influence of the Croton and Hudson Rivers on the development of the Valley and also the ecological impact of the population on the rivers over time. Campers spend the first half of the day in the 19th century acquainting themselves with the inhabitants of the Croton watershed. In the afternoon, participants step into the 21st century and examine the river today and how we, as stewards of the river, can have an impact on its future and our own.
