This program focuses on developing and promoting self awareness, healthy relationship with peers, as well as decision-making and leadership. This program is the complete best of both worlds, as campers will have daily workshops based on the bi-weekly themes, enjoy daily activities, and attend field trips. Space is limited, and requires at least a consecutive two week commitment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is included in the camp tuition fees? Included in the camp tuition fees are: hot lunch, two snacks (mid-morning & afternoon), two camp t- shirts, and admission to field trips.
Most of your activities are outdoors, what do you do during inclement weather? We will have modified activities inside of our carousel pavilion for our campers to enjoy.
This is a public park, how do you handle safety? Our campers are our number one priority. Counselors accompany campers everywhere they go throughout the day. Additionally, we have security patrolling the park for our safety.
Can my child be in the same group as his/her friend? Due to the limited capacity of campers we have per week, all campers are together throughout the day. For some activities and content delivery, campers will be placed with their age group.
What is your policy on wearing masks at camp? As per the State of Connecticut Youth Camps division, campers are required to wear masks while indoors and being transported off-site. They may remove their masks while eating, drinking or outdoors.
Are campers and staff required to have the COVID-19 vaccine? We take COVID very seriously here, and comply with all of the State of Connecticut requirements. Currently, campers are not required to have the COVID-19 vaccine. Staff are required to be either fully vaccinated or submit weekly COVID tests prior to the work week. Staff, regardless of vaccination status, are required to wear masks during camp.
Can I add sessions as I go? Yes, you may add sessions as you go. Please note: sessions are subject to availability on a first- come, first- serve basis.
