Every summer, Hudson River Park hosts groups of campers from all over New York City – and occasionally beyond – at several of the park’s locations.
Each reservation is limited to 40 participants; during which the group can be split to alternate between two programs (i.e. - Fishing and Recreation). Duration varies depending on age level and program content. Please allow 90 minutes for a trip.
Big City Fishing
Learn about the ecology of the Hudson River as you enjoy this popular park tradition. After learning about fishing safety and sportsmanship ethics, campers learn to fish using rods, reels, and bait. Fishing is catch & release. Campers can examine live specimens and identify their catch using the Hudson River Park Fish Poster.
Walking Tours
Camps electing the Changing Waterfront History Tour follow the Greenwich Village Walking Tour. Camps on the Garden Tour explore park gardens to identify plants, birds and insects.
Recreation
This is offered in conjunction with our other programs. Campers can select among many activities that focus on physical education and science themes, including tug-of-war, relay races, and other games.
