¡Bienvenidos! Tonight we’re celebrating 25 YEARS of Big Turtle Village, a place where generations of Greater New Haven kids have explored nature, gone to sleepaway camp, made lifelong friends, and grown into confident leaders.

Today, former campers are parents, professionals, volunteers, and even members of our own team. And tonight, we’re throwing them a party! 🎉

Thursday, October 15 · 6:30–9:30 PM · Yale Peabody Museum, New Haven

🎤 Laughs with host Justin Silva, comedian and proud Big Turtle Village alum
🎶 Live music and dancing with Abreu Latin Jazz, Movimiento Cultural and Spirits N Motion 3.0
🍽️ Bites by Chef Cathy Cann of Cat’s Kitchen, as seen on Gordon Ramsay’s Next Level Chef
📸 A photo booth, a wine bar.
