Inwood Forest Camp
‘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 a Summer Forest Camp in the beautiful old woods of Inwood Hill Park for the past five years, 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 Spring Break camps and how to apply are below. Summer Camp details will be released shortly - feel free to get in touch for provisional dates. 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
