About this event
For children years who love the outdoors and wildlife, this popular week-long day camp session will be both fun and educational and allow them to explore the 156 acres our park offers. For kids ages 6-8 and 9-11. During this camp, we will visit a variety of habitats in the park, such as wetlands, fields, and woodlands. Hikes, games, crafts, and cooking will be incorporated into our lessons. This is a great choice for a fun summer experience!
TUITION PER WEEK: $153 for priority students (Ansonia residents and current family-level FANCI members); $180 for all others.
One camp session runs from Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM

The summer camp staff are qualified and trained to be with children outdoors: however, nature is unpredictable. Injuries can occur at any time. Insect bites, stings, falls, tripping over roots, and slipping into water are all risks to which your child may be exposed. Our teachers are vigilant of danger and our mission is to teach campers to be active participants in their safety; this includes not wandering from the group, asking for clarification if they don’t understand instructions, and responding immediately to safety directions. Use this guideline to assess if summer nature days are a good fit for your child.
