A large, long-running (1922) coed traditional camp in Hartford with separate Kids/Teen/LIT program tracks and an explicitly international camper and staff base; the sheer scale of its online review footprint (by far the most of any camp in this list) signals a camp with substantial year-round marketing reach and a large annual enrollment.
