Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
Mini Blazers (Entering Pre-K & K): Join us while we sing camp songs, observe tadpoles and engage in lots of play in the park.
P.A.R.K. Rangers (Parkwide Adventures and Recreation for Kids) Entering 1st & 2nd Grade: Each week offers an environmentally focused theme and activities designed to use the park as the ultimate classroom.
E.C.O. Explorers (Every Child Outside) 3rd to 5th grades: Trail Blazing extends beyond the park with trips throughout Brooklyn. The highlight of this program is a one-night trip to Tail Blazers’ overnight camp in NJ. E.C.O. Explorers enjoy an elevated curriculum and weekly meet-ups with other E.C.O. Explorer smallcamps.
As a nature-loving adventure program, we operate almost entirely outdoors, seeking shelter within the park if needed and moving indoors only if absolutely necessary. We think Alfred Wainwright said it best, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing”. To learn how to prepare for your Trail Blazers adventure, see our FAQ section.
