OUR programs - summer camp 2009 Summer Camp Application (pdf) Click the "PHOTOS" link below to see more pictures from our summer camp.  
OverviewOur program is designed to provide a pure camping experience that is as memorable, diverse and rewarding as we remember ours to be. Respect, fun, learning and friendship are the important values we emphasize.
Our counselors have many years of experience working with children of all ages, and have been with our camp program since we began it eight years ago. A typical day consists of carefully planned and age appropriate activities drawing from a wide span of resources. Campers are grouped by age and will always have numerous options to engage in structured activities, or pursue their individual interests. Our camp lunch and snack menus are specially designed to please school-age kids, and once a week is barbeque lunch ... all the burgers and dogs you can eat!
Hours and TransportationCamp hours are from 9:00am until 4:30pm. Transportation is available from our Windsor, Simsbury & Farmington locations leaving at 8:30am and returning at 5:00pm. Children can be dropped off anytime after 7:00am and must be picked up by 6:00pm.
