Teen Outdoor Adventure

Teen Outdoor Adventures is a new program being offered by the New Haven Park Rangers specifically geared toward teens and young adults, aged 13 – 18 years, that live in New Haven and the surrounding community. The program will encourage young people to connect with their natural environment and with each other. Each program is independent of the others, though the June campout will allow those who have participated in earlier events to come together with their friends and parents for one last adventure before the summer.
