Summer Camp Open Houses in Connecticut

3/9/15 - By Brandee Gilmore

Summer camp is something of an investment. When families plan to spend hundreds of dollars on something, they like to do research to make sure they are making a good choice for their money and of course for their child. There are plenty out there to choose from, and if you want to know what you're getting before you plunk down a deposit, several Connecticut contenders will be hosting open houses in the coming months.  Make sure to check out our lists and reviews of summer camps in our CT Summer Camp Guide too.
