This is a great opportunity for new and existing camp families to take a look around, chat with camp staff, and meet other campers. It can be very reassuring to recognize a friendly face on that first day of camp!

Hey Hey, Camp Families, Summer is fast approaching! If you are new to camp or just can't wait to reconnect with your favorite counselor, we welcome you to our Day Camp Open House. This is a great opportunity to ease those first-day camper jitters by meeting some of our amazing staff, taking a tour to see where your camper will be spending their days, meeting fellow campers, and getting answers to any lingering questions.

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make the return of the Deer Lake Trail Run such a success!

After a 7-year pause, it was incredible to see runners, hikers, volunteers, and supporters back on the trails in beautiful rural Killingworth, CT. Participants tackled the challenging 5(ish)-mile course featuring nearly 500 feet of elevation gain across the scenic 250+ acre property, navigating rocky terrain, roots, mud, and the ever-changing elevations that make this a true trail run experience.

Congratulations to all of our participants and award winners, and thank you to everyone who helped bring this event back to life. We loved seeing the community out enjoying the trails once again.

Keep an eye out for next yearโ€™s date coming soon!
