Each June, families join New York Restoration Project (NYRP) staff and embark on an exciting overnight experience in Swindler Cove Park. Activities include boating on the Harlem River, a cookout, campfire songs and a night hike. One of the highlights of this event is the Owl Prowl – an Eagle owl flight demonstration and opportunity for participants to meet a Screech owl, as well as other types of owls and raptors. First-time camping families are provided with tents and sleeping bags.
Also in June, NYRP invites local families to enjoy a day of fun in nature at Swindler Cove Park. From a boat launch to a bird-watch walk, NYRP welcomes families from the Upper Manhattan communities of Washington Heights and Inwood to engage in nature in this day-long, free event that celebrates family. NYRP staff and educators lead families in playing games, taking hands-on hikes, painting birdhouses, creating family nature projects, taking family nature portraits, meeting live animals, gardening and learning about ways to be green, together.
