Summer camps can be wonderful experiences for children. However, finding summer programs for kids, getting the information you need, and deciding on the right one for your child isn’t always easy.
 
That’s why we have written about all kinds of summer camps, spring break camps and other school vacation camps, from tech-focused programs to nature explorations, and have put them into this handy guide for Connecticut families.
