Waterbury, CT

Cost: Members: $12 per person

Join us for a private immersive field trip to the Palace Theater in Waterbury. Our time will last about an hour and include not only a theater-ambassador-led tour about theater history, but also exploring where regular audiences are never allowed! Exclusively for our group, we will be joined by the Chief Production Officer who will bring us directly onto the massive professional stage for a demonstration of how things work behind and above the stage like the moving pieces of sets and the fascinating rigging system! All ages welcome, best suited for 5-6+

The Adventure Park at the Discovery Museum

Thursday September 24th 11:30-3:30

Bridgeport, CT

Cost: Members- $40 per climber

Non-members- $40 per climber + $15 non member coordination fee per family

(observers are welcome to come at no cost) same price for ALL AGES (Regular admission is $64/adult and $55/child)

Description: Mark your calendars for our annual Fall trip to the trees! Ask any of our families who have adventured here with us before and they'll be sure to tell you this is not to be missed! Join us for aerial climbing, zip lining and obstacle courses in the trees. There are all levels of challenge from beginner to advanced and elite. Great for all ages (parents who have participated will tell you it's a blast!) but children ages 5 and 6 MUST have an adult climb with them. Children older than this may climb without an adult, but keep in mind any shorter child may need help reaching to clip and unclip themselves and would be best accompanied by a tall friend or adult.

She is wonderful with kids and always gets “the shot!” This year, rather than registering for specific time-slots, families will arrive any time from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm and will be photographed on a first-come-first-served basis throughout the day until all families have their slot. Mini sessions available for individual, sibling or both. You will receive 3 professionally edited images with the option to purchase more for $5/photo. 

Cost: Event registration fee pricing per family-Members: $10. Non-Members: $20
