Summer Camp at the Connecticut River Museum

Specially crafted for children ages 6-11, these 6 weeks of camp offer a unique opportunity to explore the natural wonders of the Connecticut River through hands-on activities, exciting outdoor adventures, and educational programs. Campers will engage in wildlife observation, boat trips on the River in RiverQuest or Onrust, arts and crafts, and much more, all while building lasting memories and friendships. With expert educators guiding each activity, campers will gain a deeper understanding of local ecology, history, and environmental stewardship in a fun and safe environment. This is more than just a summer camp—it’s an immersive experience that nurtures creativity, curiosity, and a love for the River. Don’t miss the chance to discover the beauty of the Connecticut River while having an unforgettable summer!
