Each summer, the Friends of Five Rivers offer outdoor programs to help parents and children grow in their understanding and appreciation of the natural world through shared activities. Parents or caregivers and children must participate together. Registration is required.

Summer Family Fun is a four-morning program for children ages 2–8, which will be offered July 12–16, August 9–13, and August 16–20. Go to www.friendsoffiverivers.org/  for complete information, including fees and a registration form.

For the safety of our visitors, staff and volunteers, and in compliance with guidance from New York State, the New York State Department of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), social distancing practices must be followed. Masks must be worn throughout guided programs, while at a roving program, and on the trails whenever a 6-foot distance cannot be maintained between individuals or households.  

Come learn about archery and practice your skills with DEC Summer Youth Program Staff!

Practice your archery skills with NYS DEC certified instructors. We will teach the basics of target shooting and spend the day practicing our skills. All equipment will be supplied by DEC staff. We will finish the day with group games. Everyone is welcome to bring an optional packed lunch to enjoy with staff after the program ends.

We can't wait to see you!
