Boys Only Sleepaway Summer Camps in CT and the Berkshires

There can be some substantial pro's to sending Jimmy off to an all boys camp. Without the opposite sex in attendance, tweens and teens can focus more on the fun to be had and avoid any weird peer pressure. Typically, fun is geared towards the particular gender. Boys can be boys and girls can be girls. Here's a hodge podge list of boys only summer camps in CT as well as some right over the border in Massachusetts. Some have long standing traditions and are close to 100 years old, others are much newer and focused mainly on sport skills.
