NJCWST students field research in river

Summer Camp

We will be offering an all-day, Monday-Friday, four-week summer camp for current 6th, 7th and 8th grade students from July 21 through August 15, 2025.

This program combines recreational activities, environmental education lessons, computer technology lessons, and guided field trips to notable natural sites and water resource management facilities in the Passaic River basin and Newark Bay. Project staff will lead the tours and present lessons in classrooms and science labs on the campus of Montclair State University. Students will be taught how to use instruments and software used by scientists and other professionals and apply these skills toward exercises relevant to the sites and topics of the tours.

Applicants that are selected to participate in the Eco-Explorers Summer Program will be awarded a full scholarship! Applicants should be able to participate in moderately strenuous outdoor activities, have interest and aptitude in science and computer technology, and must be able to commit to the entire session – all 20 days.

Applications are due by April 1, 2025.
