I never dreamed I might entertain the idea of sleepaway camp for my not-quite-8-year-old twins.  Too young, right?  Actually, no.  Many trusted, accredited camps offer introductory programs for kiddos as young as 7 years old, and begin a tradition of returning to camp long into their high school days.  Interested in taking the leap into an overnight, resident camp?  Take a peek at what the Eastern part of Connecticut has to offer!

There are not many children who don’t like horses. Some boys envision themselves to be cowboys and some girls will think of themselves as a pretty princess with her noble steed. Or a cowgirl or cowboy! The possibilities are endless. Wherever their imagination is taking them, rest assured if your young one has expressed an interest in equestrian pursuits, you can find a camp to occupy their summer and make their dreams come true here in New Haven County.

Santa Claus I get. The toothy fairy, no problem. But an oversized pink bunny who lays eggs? This tradition makes no sense to me. However, with a little digging I've learned that the tradition of the Easter bunny has its roots in centuries old pagan traditions of celebrating spring and renewal. The bottom line? As long as he's bringing chocolate, this bunny is good with me. And with my kids. Happily, there are lots of opportunities in the area, so many so that we have listed even more events occurring in Fairfield County here.
