Clerical Day Nature Camp
Date: FRIDAY, June 5th
Grades: Mixed-age PreK-5th
Meet: 9:00 am at the children's entrance to Central Library on Eastern Parkway.
Pickup: the children's entrance to Central Library on Eastern Parkway, 3:00 pm
Optional aftercare: PS 9 Garden, 3:15–5:00 pm — add separately to your cart
A whole day in the living world
We start the morning at the library with field guides and one question: what do you most want to find today? Then we head out into two of Brooklyn's most extraordinary outdoor spaces — Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Prospect Park.
On June 5th we go to Prospect Park first — morning exploration and lunch on the grass — then spend the afternoon at BBG moving slowly through the gardens, looking carefully at what's alive and in bloom, before pickup at the children's entrance to Central Library on Eastern Parkway at 3:00 pm.
Each child gets their own nature journal for the day — for drawing, writing, or pressing a flower. Educators help the little ones. We move slowly, look carefully, and follow what's alive.
What We'll Do
📚 Brooklyn Central Library, — We start with the field guides. Kids choose what they most want to look for today. Everyone leaves with something to hunt for.
🌳 Prospect Park, — Morning exploration, nature journaling, and lunch on the grass.
🌿 Brooklyn Botanic Garden, — Native bees, butterflies, birds, and plants in full early summer bloom. A beautiful way to end the day before pickup or after-care.
🌱 PS 9 Garden aftercare, 3:00–5:00 pm (optional) — A quieter end to the day. Kids dig, plant, explore, make art with natural materials, and have free time in the garden.
What to Bring
Packed lunch and a full water bottle
Weather-appropriate clothes with an extra layer
Comfortable closed-toe shoes (no sandals)
Hat and sunscreen applied before arrival
Brooklyn Rewilders provides field guides, nature journals, snacks, and all materials.
