The Recreation Camp is a non-profit member of the Valley United Way and has continuously operated a summer camp on the Housatonic River in Derby since 1917.
With a staff of 7 State of Connecticut certified teachers and the region’s only Red Cross-certified kayaking, canoeing, and sailing instructor, our mission is to provide early childhood education and water-related activities to children from the communities of Derby, Shelton, Ansonia, Seymour, and Oxford during the summer recess.
For the very affordable cost of $175.00 per week, your child can spend the summer enjoying a truly wonderful day camp experience – just like when we were kids! The Camp offers multi-child discounts and financial assistance for those who qualify.
