How do I contact my child when they are at camp?
No phones or mobile technology is allowed for campers while they are at camp. You are welcome to email your child through our camper email portal and we will encourage them to write back. Additionally, you can send snail mail to your child at: 73 Times Farm Rd Andover, CT 06242. We ask that you post your letters before they arrive to ensure the mail is received while the camper is here. Please do not send food or snacks of any type. This attracts animals to the cabins where the children will be sleeping. Calling is discouraged as it tends to perpetuate homesickness

Who will be my child’s counselor?
We host a diverse staff throughout the summer. All our staff have been interviewed thoroughly background checked. They all have experience working with children, and many of them have risen through our program starting as campers, to CITs and now staff. Additionally, we welcome staff from many overseas countries and they bring an additional level of diversity to our program.

What is a typical day at camp like?
All campers will rotate through 7 activity periods that are roughly 1 hours each. Throughout the day all campers will participate in Fun & Games, Swim lessons and swimming; teambuilding, a daily program rotation, and a choice of two program areas.
