Spring break is coming, and we can hear it already: “Mom, I’m bored!” Save yourself a headache by booking your kids’ spots in spring break camps ASAP. These week-long sessions will keep your children busy during the school vacation and stimulated and engaged during their time away from the classroom.
There are many options here in Bergen County tailored to kids of different ages with varying interests. And to make things easier for parents, some offer half-day or full-day options.
Here are seven Bergen County spring break camps for 2023—just click each of the links to enroll and to get more details and pricing.
April 3–7: When school’s out, the kids should be out too—outside, that is. The spring break camp at Tenafly Nature Center features hiking, crafting, stories and games, as well as hands-on interactions with animals. Kids are split up by age group: There’s one group for the Pre-K and K set and another for grades 1-6. Seventh and eighth graders can sign up for “Junior CIT” program to assist with the younger kids.
