Summer Day Camps in Fairfield County, CT
I find myself in new summer camp territory this year. My 9 year old is old enough for sleep away camp, but her mother… ahem…isn’t quite ready to send her off. But as I think she’s outgrown our local rec camp, I’ve been looking into some different alternatives. I want her camp experience this year to really be a growing and learning experience for her, a chance for her to try something new and different. And so we're considering some of the following:
