Winter Fun Day at Wilton Wildlife: Scavenger Hunt and Bonfire Event

Get ready for a day of outdoor adventure and cozy fun! Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park invites community members of all ages to join them for a bonfire on Monday, January 19, from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM at the Town of Wilton’s Camp Saratoga. This event is perfect for parents looking for enriching winter activities for their kids, or individuals just looking to get outside!

A drop-in event: participants are invited to stop by the fire circle located next to the bathrooms at Camp Saratoga for hot cocoa and s’mores around the fire. 

Looking to hit the trails?

In addition to the bonfire, there will be a scavenger hunt that can be completed while walking, snowshoeing, or skiing the trails. Scavenger hunt sheets will be available at the Welcome Cabin located in Parking Lot #1 (90 Scout Road, Wilton) between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Return your sheet by 4:00 PM for a small prize! 

Winter rentals will also be available at the Welcome Cabin from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with all rented equipment needing to be returned by 3:30 p.m. Rentals are on a first-come, first-served basis.
