Connecticut Summer Camp Guide

Summer camps can be wonderful experiences for children. They provide academic enrichment, boost athletic skills, get kids outside and into nature, encourage creativity, or just focus on fun. However, finding summer programs for kids, getting the information you need, and deciding on the right one for your child isn’t always easy.
 
That’s why we have written about all kinds of summer camps, spring break camps and other vacation camps, from tech-focused programs to nature explorations, and have put them into this handy guide for Connecticut families.

Filter for specific camps by age, type, and interest in our Connecticut Summer Camp Directory.
