Channel 3 Kids Camp - Channel 3

The Channel 3 Kids Camp would like to welcome your child to an exciting overnight summer camp experience with our elite staff, quality programming, and endless adventure. Our overnight program is a summer retreat for all Connecticut boys and girls ages 8 – 12. Away from the hustle and bustle of the real-world, our 350 acres in Andover, CT provides a care-free environment for a healthy summer of play, new friendships, and the outdoors. Overnight camp runs for 8 different sessions, in one-week intervals. Our cozy screened in cabins house 6-8 campers each and are separated by age and gender. Nearby washhouses provide running water and hot showers. Each cabin has two counselors and one CIT to bunk and supervise the cabin. One of the counselors stay with the campers all day and the other teaches a specific activity elective (archery, ropes, etc.).

In our 2nd century, Channel 3 Kids Camp continues to offer an accessible and inclusive camping experience for youth, which includes helping children from every county in Connecticut and throughout New England The core program at the Channel 3 Kids Camp is our Overnight & Day Summer Camping Program. We are unique in that we are the only camp in Connecticut that provides accessible and affordable overnight camping experiences for all children. To make that happen we offer camperships so camp is affordable as possible for all families and every child can come and enjoy the wonders of the Andover and Coventry wilderness! With over 4,000 children, ages 6 - 16 participating in programs year round, and a wide variety of activities offered, we are proud to say that the opportunities provided here are unmatched anywhere in the State. During the fall and winter months, many more children are able to experience this vast 350 acres along the Skungamaug River as they participate in Natures Classroom, where science and nature are brought to life in a way that no text book possibly can. For those who are unable to attend Natures Classroom, Camp Ventures visits local schools where science and nature are brought to life in an after school program format. For many children the opportunity to experience the thrill of sleeping under the stars, frolicking in the river, being part of a summer play, or receiving Red Cross certified swimming lessons in a sparkling clean pool, has only been a dream of things that other children are able to do not them. Our generous supporters and sponsors enable us to ensure that those campers who might otherwise be unable to afford a week in the country are given the opportunity to enrich their lives through one of our multiple programs, including video and movie productions, golf, gardening , archery, high-low ropes, or arts and crafts. We could not do this work without the kindness of individuals, foundations, grants, corporate contributors and public support; we are most grateful for this generosity.
