  About the Program
  Are you interested in adventure and exploration? Do you like field trips? The Liberty Trails Summer Camp offers participants something new each day.

Previously, participants have visited Adventure Aquarium, Ashland Coal Mine, Hopewell Furnace, Sandy Hook National Recreation Area, Hawk Mountain, Crystal Caves, Tannersville Cranberry Bog, and more. Sign up today and see what experiences await you. This camp is designed for incoming 3rd through 7th grade students.
  The first day of camp will begin at 8:00 am as campers are greeted at the front office. On most days thereafter, camp will begin at 8:00 am and end between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm, depending upon the activity. There is an overnight camp as part of the experience. A parent orientation will be held where camp leaders can answer questions. The program permits a maximum of 50 students and those who have not previously participated in the Liberty Trails Summer Camp will be given priority to attend. Note that the District reserves the right to cancel this camp should extenuating circumstances arise.
