The Whole Family Can Get Involved in The City Nature Challenge This Weekend

Take Part in The City Nature Challenge This Weekend

April 26 – 29, 2024

Live in Fairfield or Westchester Counties? Join us in making observations of plants and animals – at a park, a beach or even just in your own neighborhood as part of a worldwide “bio-blitz” called the City Nature Challenge!

Help as we compete against other metro areas to see who can make the most observations of nature, find the most species and engage the most people.

Animal Investigators | Ages 6-8 | June 24-28 or July 22-26

Featuring exciting visits from desert, ocean, temperate forest, and rainforest animals, campers will travel across the globe without ever leaving Norwalk!

The animals are the stars of this week-long series. Each day we’ll introduce one of our marquee groups of animals, including seals and mammals, sharks and fish, jellies and corals, turtles, and more!
