Teen Adventure's Trip To Norwalk Maritime Aquarium

Last Saturday South East Consortium took a glimpse under the sea at the Norwalk Maritime Aquarium. The Teen Adventure group learned about the importance of conservation, the feeding habits of marine life and experienced the beauty and wonder of our finned friends.

The aquarium, situated in the Norwalk Harbor in Norwalk Connecticut, features marine life commonly found in the nearby Long Island Sound and along the eastern seaboard as well as tropical fish and even meer cats!

Our adventurers arrived just in time to see the seal feeding. The seals performed trick after trick for a fishy reward. Trainers informed us about the importance of seal training as it helps keep the mammals fit both physically and mentally. Training also helps move the seals in emergency situations such as a power failure.

The shark tank was the next stop on our aquatic adventure. This feeding was far more hair-raising as divers entered the shark tank to feed the silent sentinels of the sea with a pole. Aquarium staff assured us no harm has ever come to any divers while feeding the sharks. Even so we prefer the dry side of glass!

The “touch tank” was the last stop on our trip. The touch tank allows visitors to gently touch sting rays and nurse sharks (both harmless.) Our adventurers had a great time feeling the soft, smooth backs of the rays and the rough, sand paper scales of the nurse sharks as they sailed by.

As our adventurers loaded up on the bus to return home we looked out at the Long Island Sound to a whole watery world waiting to be discovered!

Radio City Christmas Spectacular

On November 9^th, 2013 SEC took a special trip into NYC to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the world famous Radio City Rockettes.   We traveled into the city via metro-north railroad and walked a few short blocks to Radio City Music Hall.  As we walked to the venue we walked past Rockefeller Center to see the Rockefellar Christmas Tree being decorated, an added delight.  We arrived at Radio City with enough time to take some photos and get comfortable for a 90min blockbuster performance that kept everyone on the edge of their seats.  After the show we had lunch at TGI Fridays and a Black & White cookie from Juniors for Dessert.  A spectacular South East trip to begin the holiday season!

Magical Mystery Celebrates Halloween Early!

On Sunday October 27th the Magical Mystery group attended the The Miracle League of Westchester's "Very Special Halloween" event and had a blast! We were able to go trick or treating around all the different tables, play games, and were entertained by a guy on stilts! 

After fulling up our bags with lots of candy and treats we headed over to the craft area and got our picture taken, explored some Halloween setups and did a few special crafts. Next we ate some lunch outside and enjoyed all that Autumn has to offer such as the crisp air and the and the colorful trees. 

With full bellies we were ready to take a ride on the tractor hayride. The DJ was playing music as we rode all around the field. Next we went to the pumpkin patch and each picked a pumpkin that we later were able to decorate. Everyone has such a good time on this perfect Fall day!

After a delightful afternoon we ended our day with a movie at a local movie theater. Another successful Magical Mystery adventure.  

Spook-tacular Soiree

On October 26^th, 2013 South East Consortium hosted the Spook-tacular Soiree at the Posillipo Center in Rye Brook, NY.

A Special Thank you to Liz at the Posillipo Center for making our evening go smoothly!
