A traditional YMCA sleepaway and day camp on a 560-acre property with a private lake in the Litchfield Hills, founded in 1901 and now over 125 years old — one of the older, larger-footprint YMCA camps in the state. It runs two-week sleepaway sessions, day-camp weeks, and an equestrian/ranch program, and is the only camp in this Connecticut set that publishes an explicit staff-to-camper ratio (1:4), signaling a supervision-focused pitch to parents.
