Each weekend the NYC Urban Park Rangers offer exciting Weekend Adventures in a public park close to you.
These programs enable adults and families to experience the natural world in new and unexpected ways. The variety of these activities is as vast as the parks themselves.
They include canoeing, fishing, hiking, biking, archery, camping, wildlife viewing, and astronomy, as well as special programs for kids and families. On a Weekend Adventure program you can immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature, discover our city’s diverse culture, and delve into our rich history, all for free.
On an Urban Park Ranger program, adventure, discovery, and the natural world are only a few blocks away.

We camp to create lasting memories, connect with the natural world, and bond with our families. Camping affords us the opportunity to unplug from the diversions of everyday life and to laugh and play with our families. The Urban Park Rangers celebrate the tradition of camping throughout the spring and summer, and we look forward to welcoming your family.
Family Camping programs take place in all five boroughs, but space is limited and families are chosen by lottery. To enter your family in the lottery, visit our Urban Park Rangers Registration page. You must supply your own sleeping bag and bedding.
