New Haven County Drama and Dance Camps

Things to do with kids: New Haven County Drama and Dance Camps

Does your youngster have a flair for the dramatic? I think all of our kids do at one point or another, but some children have a yen to be on stage or in front of the camera. Whether through dance, in front of the camera or behind the scenes, New Haven County has a camp for them! I have found a few that will inspire a young thespian or director! Check them out!

Sports Camps in New London County

Things to do with kids: Sports Camps in New London County

My twins turn 8 this summer and we're embarking on our first foray into kid sports!  I'll admit, this Momma was not at all prepared for the idea of my kiddos competing in a sport of any kind, but I'll happily report the benefits of participating far outweigh any negatives.  Now, our camp options for summer vacation just exploded to include sports camps!  They offer a fantastic opportunity for your active kiddo to spend time honing their skills of the sport or activity they love or to learn the fundamentals of something new.  Lucky for us, living in New London county, with our miles of coastline, a host of recreational areas and award winning facilities catering to a wide spectrum of sports and abilities, this area boasts a gold mine of summer sport camp options

Sleepaway Summer Camps in Eastern CT

Things to do with kids: Sleepaway Summer Camps in Eastern CT

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!

Horseback Riding Camps in Fairfield County, CT

Things to do with kids: Horseback Riding Camps in Fairfield County, CT

I am DELIGHTED that my 9-year old girl is far more interested in horses and dolphins than boys (not counting the boys of  One Direction, of course).  Needless to say, my husband is equally delighted.  And while I have been unable to find a dolphin riding camp in CT for this summer (her first choice), I have found lots of options for horseback riding camps in Fairfield County.  I'm hoping that one of these will fit our summer schedule and prolong her interest in horses rather than 10-year old boys.  Wish me luck!
