School Year Ends, Summer Camp Begins

Day Camp for Girls K-12 Gets Campers Moving With Classic Sports and Team-Building Games

This summer, all girls grades K-12 can take a free bus service from Wilton to Camp Aspetuck in Weston, CT. There, girls can play a number of classic sports and other team-building, leadership-geared games.

Camp Aspetuck, a day camp, gives girls the opportunity to experience all of the excitement of traditional camp experiences with other mega fun activities. The summer camp is run by a core group of exciting, entertaining leadership, and their programming reflects interesting and fun themes.

With the use of its field space, Camp Aspetuck is able to provide girls with the program, “Mega Sports and Games!” Girls participating in the program are able to play different types of classic sports and new games with the combination of cooperative and competitive activities. These activities teach girls about group dynamics, game strategies, and team work. This program is for girls entering grades four through sixth.

Operated by Girl Scouts of Connecticut, Camp Aspetuck is proud to be licensed by the State of Connecticut and accredited by the American Camping Association which shows a commitment to offering high quality programs, meeting safety standards, and following the best business practices.

Summer camp helps boost girls’ self-esteem and confidence, thus improving their social skills and establishing a greater sense of independence. During their summer at Camp Aspetuck, girls can develop leadership qualities, learn outdoor skills, and swim in its pools! Younger girls begin by leading songs and playing games. Girls in grades nine through twelve can participate in a number of leadership programs.

At Camp Aspetuck, each member of the summer camp staff has been carefully screened and chosen for their skills and experience. All staff receives more than 30 hours of training in child development, teambuilding, safety, and risk management.

All girls in grades K-12 are welcome at Camp Aspetuck, which offers bus services from many local towns. To learn more about Camp Aspetuck, visit www.gsofct.org.
