No Child Left Inside is a major state initiative designed to reconnect youngsters with the outdoors, build the next generation of environmental stewards and showcase Connecticut's state parks and forests.

A key element of the program is The Great Park Pursuit, The Connecticut State Parks Family Adventure. Now in its second year, the Great Park Pursuit takes Connecticut families on a tour of state parks and forests throughout the spring. Families follow clues to determine which parks to visit as they compete for outdoor adventure prizes. Visit No Child Left Inside to sign up and learn more about No Child Left Inside and the Great Park Pursuit.
