Enjoy a Safe & Fun Summer in Connecticut
Most important to Playland is providing a safe and fun summer. We hire mature and experienced staff members who truly love children and love outdoor activities. Children are grouped according to grade in school; for most age groups boys and girls are separated. There are 14 to 16 children per group. A senior counselor leads each group and 2 or 3 counselors assist. Head Counselors supervise every 3 or 4 groups. Specialists with expertise in their area teach skills and games. The specialist stays at the activity all day and plans and implements the program. Group counselors escort the group to the activity and participate with the campers. We maintain a 1 counselor to 4 camper ration. Playland staff members are trained to structure every activity for success. Campers are encouraged to try everything in a safe environment.
The social experiences engendered at Camp Playland last a lifetime. Camp allows kids to be kids in an unpressured environment. It is a wonderful opportunity for children to socialize with peers and mentors and to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Camp Playland is the place you want to be this summer. We are happy to welcome Greenwich families and we invite you to arrange a time to visit. This upcoming summer will be another safe, fun and instructional summer!
