School and Group Programs
Here at the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center, we offer a variety of educational programs focused on environmental science and natural history to school groups and scouting organizations.
Programs can be adapted to any age group. Content and activities will be adjusted accordingly. Classes are scheduled on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays only. We do not schedule classes for July and August. We do not teach offsite classes.
Ongoing Programs
Every Saturday at 12 noon we present our weekly Creature Feature – FREE – no RSVP necessary!
Come to meet our furry, scaly, and feathery animal ambassadors. You’ll have a chance to touch and hold them in this FREE family program for all ages! Learn how they came to us, what their wild relatives do, and how we care for them here at ANRC!
Every Sunday at 1 pm you can join a guided hike with one of our Park Rangers – FREE- no RSVP necessary!
Join a Nature Center guide on Sunday afternoons for fun, exercise, and learning. The length and choice of trail will be determined by the interests of the group! Who know what you will discover? Dress for the weather and wear suitable shoes. See our calendar listings for hikes with a specific theme.
