Dark Walk Returns to Channel 3 Kids Camp

Experience one of the most interactive and theatrical Halloween scares of its time at Channel 3 Kids Camp in Andover, CT.

Summer ends at the Channel 3 Kids Camp and the kids have all gone home. The camp is empty…or is it? What if all those scary campfire stories came to life? The Dark Walk Haunted Camp Tour leads you on an excursion like no other. Explore some of the camp’s lesser known landmarks while wandering dark paths through foreboding woods on the Dark Walk Haunted Camp Tour Saturday, October 11, Fridays, October 17 and 24 and Saturdays, October 18 and 25 at the Channel 3 Kids Camp.

Tour an old camp thought to be abandoned; where, along with autumn’s chill, a strange cast of characters have arrived. What is their connection to a 13 year gap in the camp’s history? Are they attracted to the evil emanating from the remnants of the old toy factory?

Find out the answers to these questions as you explore camp like it’s never been seen before.

Best described as Halloween Theater, this intimate event engulfs you in an eerie setting populated by strange characters and woven through with a dark narrative. The immersive production engages participants in a walk through the haunted woods and final Vespers assembly.

For the eighth consecutive year, the walking tour is presented by the inventive ghouls of Dark Walk. Each year provides a different experience, and this year’s production is the largest undertaking yet. In addition, this is third year to benefit the Channel 3 Kids Camp.
