Lots of animals come out at the time between the sun going down and the moon rising. These critters include our common deer and rabbits, as well as fireflies and bats. We’ll take a walk to look for these crepuscular critters and then roast marshmallows over the campfire! Limited enrollment so register early!

Celebrate the end of the week by enjoying an "adults-only" night out, while your kids enjoy an educational BEE-THEMED evening at the Nature Center!
Professional NCNC educators and volunteer Red-Cross trained babysitters will provide care, interaction and activities for children 18 months - 10 years. The youngest will be well-cared for in a quiet, calm environment with a variety of nature-based activities. Older children will have a great evening of live animal visits, outside activities and a chance to snack and snuggle in front of a short nature video in the sturgess room. Bring blankets and pillows!

NCNC staff are trained in CPR, First Aid and Medical Administration/epi-pen. Snacks are peanut/tree nut free. For more information, please contact NCNC at 203.966.9577.

There are lots of great stories in the summer sky. We’ll learn some of the easy constellations and learn the stories behind them. We’ll look at the changes in the sky from day to night and discover how birds use stars to find their way. We’ll also enjoy roasting marshmallows over the fire! Limited enrollment so register early! Recommended for ages 6 and up.
