Renbrook School Summer Adventure

General Info

After reviewing the State of Connecticut and Centers for Disease Control guidelines for operating camps, we have reached the difficult decision to cancel all on-campus programming for Summer 2020.  This page has been left in place for planning purposes for Summer 2021.
Divisions

To better serve the needs of the campers, we have merged our groups into age-based divisions. These divisions are named for birds of prey to align with Renbrook School’s mascot – Freddie the Hawk. Campers are placed into a division based on the grade that they will enter the following Fall.

A note from the Camp Director

Renbrook School Summer Adventure welcomes you and your camper to our 46th summer! Here at Renbrook, we hope your camper will:
  • Explore our 75-acre campus with a diverse offering of activities including art, STEAM, swimming, archery, robotics, theater, rocketry, and more!
  • Excite their passion for meeting friends, trying new activities and connect with past friends.
  • Engage with our experienced staff of over 150 teachers, students, and professionals who all come to Renbrook year after year
In my 27 years of camping, I have enjoyed all aspects of camp life. From a Counselor in Training to Cabin Counselor and on to Director, I have learned a lot about camping and campers. Last year a new chapter started when I brought my own kids to camp. I am very excited to continue the legacy of camping in my family and I know that Renbrook School Summer Adventure is the place for my children to begin their love of summer camp! I hope to see all of you during the summer.



Sincerely,
Dave Farrell

Executive Director of Renbrook School Summer Adventure
