## About

An optional lunch hour for children attending the NJEA Mini Camp sessions at Reeves-Reed Arboretum. Campers from the morning or afternoon session bring their own lunch and stay for an extra hour of food, fun and time with friends between programs. It suits five- to ten-year-olds who are spending a full day at mini camp during the school break. Registration is required.
