Machimoodus State Park

The Friends of Machimoodus and Sunrise State Parks are thrilled to sponsor the debut of Superhero Training Corps’ Power Up at the Park program on Saturday September 26th (rain date Saturday, October 3) at Machimoodus State Park in East Haddam, CT.


This is a free, family friendly outdoor adventure day designed to bring families, children, volunteers, and the local community together for a hands-on day of environmental awareness and outdoor learning. The event will include a park cleanup, nature photo-based scavenger hunt, obstacle course, target accuracy game, and partner-led learning activities focused on sustainability, stewardship and service to the world around us. Participants will be asked to register on-site.





Superhero Training Corps is built around one simple belief: there is a superhero within all of us and superheroes take care of the things around them.

The Friends of Machimoodus and Sunrise State Parks, founded in 2016, is celebrating their 10th year of protecting, preserving and helping to care of these local natural treasures.

Power Up at the Park gives children and families a chance to put these ideals into action by caring for a shared public space while learning, playing, and working together.

Through super hero themed activities, participants will learn about litter reduction, habitat protection, trail maintenance, waste sorting, watersheds, wildlife, and community service.

Why This Matters:
Kids Learn to Protect What They Love
Machimoodus and Sunrise State Parks are beautiful public spaces where families can hike, explore, learn, play and connect with nature.

But public spaces need public care.
This event is more than just a one-day experience. It is a way to help children and families connect outdoor recreation with lasting environmental responsibility and conservation and reinforces the importance of civic engagement.


Power Up at the Park is designed to make ecological stewardship feel accessible, exciting and meaningful for children and families. Instead of simply telling kids to care about the environment, we are giving them a mission: clean up the park, observe nature, complete the scavenger hunt, learn from local partners, and make a stewardship pledge.



Children will not just attend an event as spectators.
They will be active participants with an important mission.
As Park Protectors, they will become Superheroes!
WHAT: Power Up At the Park
WHEN: Saturday September 26 2026 (rain date October 3) 9 am - 3 pm
WHERE: Machimoodus State Park, 128 Leesville Rd, East Haddam
WHO: Superhero Training Corps and Friends of Machimoodus and Sunrise State Parks
WHY: Healthy parks make people happy and helpful people make parks healthy.
