Deer Lake Day Camp

On the verdant outskirts of Killingworth, Connecticut, tucked away amid over 250 acres of lush forest land and fields, awaits an adventure that could transform your child's summer: Deer Lake Day Camp. This haven of fun and learning, hosted by the Shoreline Foundation, is a stone's throw away from the shoreline towns stretching from New Haven to Old Saybrook. The camp is a smorgasbord of activities, structured around a general sports theme. It features a sprawling 7-acre lake perfect for swimming, boating, and canoe instruction. For the more daring paddlers, a mile-long private lake offers a thrilling escapade. But it's not all about water sports. An arts and crafts center beckons the creatively inclined, while a wilderness challenge area stirs the spirit of adventure. A dedicated archery range caters to young Robin Hoods, and a recreation hall ensures that the fun continues, come rain or shine. At Deer Lake Day Camp, every day is a fresh chapter in a summer story filled with laughter, learning, and lasting friendships. So why wait? Let your kids dive headfirst into this unforgettable experience. They might come home with a few tall tales and a new set of skills - who knows, maybe even a bullseye or two!
