Westchester To Open Registration For Summer Camps

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — It certainly may not feel like time to start thinking about summer camp — especially when the wind chills are negative numbers — but Westchester County Parks is getting ready to open registration for a variety of children’s summer camps.

Registration for Muscoot Young Farmers and Young Wranglers camps opens Wednesday and Nature Camps opens Feb. 23 — both at noon.

Youngsters entering pre-kindergarten through ninth grade will have the opportunity to explore and discover the natural environment of Westchester with fun, hands-on experiences at the county’s nature centers and Muscoot Farm.

One week sessions are offered for Muscoot Young Farmers Camp, Monday, July 3, through Friday, Aug. 18, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; $350 per camper per week. Two, one-week sessions are available with two time blocks to choose from for Muscoot Young Wranglers Camp, Monday, June 19, through Friday, June 23, and Monday, Aug. 21, through Friday, Aug. 25, 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. or 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.; fee: $175 per camper per week; must be potty-trained. Campers are allowed one week max for both camps.

One and two-week sessions are offered at our nature centers beginning Monday, July 10, through Friday, Aug. 18, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; fee: $350 per camper per week, and pre-K from 9 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.; fee: $175 per camper per week; must be potty-trained.
