Welcome to our fifth season of Summer Adventures at Beczak Environmental Education Center. This favorite summer activity is based on Beczak's many years of leading successful river-based environmental education programs and projects for schools and other camps.

Summer Adventures brings together highly experienced staff as well as talented specialists from Greenburgh Nature Center, the Science Barge, Scenic Hudson, Yonkers Paddling and Rowing Club, the Palisades Interstate Park, REI and other educational programs.


"Each morning my son was up and ready earlier than he needed to be. He loved Summer Adventures - it's an experience I know he will keep forever."


"It's great that the children are exposed to things that are interesting to them and they have an opportunity to learn, even in the summer. I am especially grateful as I was not able to afford the cost of the camp. Thanks to the scholarship, my daughter was able to take part in a great adventure."


In addition to the theme-related activities for the session, each week will include Catch of the Day Seining, a train trip to the Kathryn W. Davis Riverwalk Center in Sleepy Hollow, nature-based arts and crafts, free time for games and personal projects and creative play.

Please contact me if you have any questions at all. I look forward to having summer adventures with your children!
