‘You have created a magical experience for these kids…I can honestly say this is one of the best experiences any child lucky enough to grow up in Manhattan can have’
~ Farhad, parent to Z, Inwood Forest Camp participant
Welcome to Inwood Forest Camp! My name is Sarah Manton-Hollis and I have been teaching Forest School and leading Forest Camps alongside my team of wonderful outdoor educators in the beautiful old woods of Inwood Hill Park since 2020, previously as an instructor for Second Nature Outdoors.
It is truly a special forest and a wonderful, gentle way to spend a week (or more!) as we sing, hike, climb, build, create art, tell stories, forage, dig, plant, identify, play games, navigate, rest, wade in the water, dance, build friendships and just take time to sit and listen to nature. The camp is child-led and activities vary each day and are developed according to the children’s interests. We all sit together for a morning meeting/singalong, snack and lunch.
Full details of the 2025 Summer camps and how to apply are below. CLICK HERE to sign up for the mailing list to be the first to know when registration opens for future camps. To give children the best experience, spots are limited so early application is recommended. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions - email sarah.inwoodforestcamp@gmail.com or call (347) 721.6867.
Warmly, Sarah
