Sure, you’ve probably heard of Connecticut’s storied South Coast along the Long Island Sound, but the Nutmeg State’s central and northern reaches are home to long stretches of quiet woods and bubbling rivers. When it comes to summer camp, consider exploring the idyllic farmlands of Litchfield County or some of the more isolated destinations along the state’s northern and eastern regions. Thanks to its proximity to New York City, everything in Connecticut is exceedingly easy to get to—making your summer camp excursion that much more within reach.
