Are you looking for a summer camp that offers both overnight and day programs? Do you want your child to experience a wide range of fun activities while being part of a warm and welcoming community? Look no further than Camp Laurelwood!
Located in Madison, Connecticut, Camp Laurelwood has been providing unforgettable summer experiences for children since 1937. With its beautiful natural setting and state-of-the-art facilities, the camp offers a safe and nurturing environment where kids can learn new skills, make lifelong friends, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
At Camp Laurelwood, we believe that every child is unique and deserves to have an enriching summer experience. That's why we offer a variety of programs tailored to different age groups and interests. Whether your child loves sports, arts & crafts, nature exploration or performing arts - there's something for everyone at our camp.
Our Overnight Program is designed for children aged 7-15 who want to spend one or more weeks away from home in the company of their peers. Our experienced staff members provide round-the-clock supervision while encouraging campers to try new things and develop their independence. From swimming in our heated pool to hiking on our scenic trails; from playing basketball on our courts to performing in our theater - there's never a dull moment at Camp Laurelwood!
For those who prefer not to stay overnight but still want to enjoy all the benefits of summer camp life - we offer Day Programs as well! Our Day Program runs Monday through Friday from 9 am until 4 pm with optional extended care available before/after hours. This program is perfect for local families who want their children to have an exciting summer without having them sleep away from home.
One thing that sets us apart from other camps is our commitment to creating a warm and welcoming community where everyone feels included. We believe that diversity makes us stronger as individuals and as a group. That's why we welcome campers of all backgrounds, religions, and abilities. We also have a dedicated team of counselors who are trained to support campers with special needs.
At Camp Laurelwood, safety is our top priority. We follow strict protocols to ensure that our facilities and activities are safe for all campers. Our staff members are CPR/First Aid certified and undergo extensive training before the start of each summer season.
In addition to traditional summer camp activities like swimming, boating, archery, and arts & crafts - we offer some unique programs that you won't find anywhere else! For example:
- Our Farm-to-Table program teaches kids about sustainable agriculture by letting them plant seeds, harvest crops, and cook meals using fresh ingredients from our garden.
- Our Outdoor Adventure program takes campers on exciting trips off-campus such as rock climbing or zip-lining.
- Our Jewish Culture program celebrates the rich traditions of Judaism through music, dance, storytelling and more.
We know that choosing the right summer camp for your child can be a daunting task. That's why we invite you to come visit us in person!
