New Pond Farm Summer Camp 2008 - Registration begins March 1st!

We are gearing up for our fourth summer of camp in our new Indoor Learning Center! Our program is small and personal, consisting of three sessions of residential camp for inner city children from Norwalk, Bridgeport and Danbury and area day campers. 

During their ten-day stay, the residential campers will learn to milk a cow, create feasts from our vegetable garden, swim in our pool, go hiking and camping, create beautiful works of art, gaze through the telescopes at the night sky, sing songs, play games, meet new friends, enjoy being celebrated as individuals, and have an amazing time, just being carefree children.

For five days of each session, four girls and four boys from the area are invited to attend as day campers. In this personal atmosphere, with an emphasis on fun, these children from different socio-economic backgrounds come together, develop understandings and friendships. 

If you have an 8-12 year old who would enjoy making new friends from different backgrounds and becoming part of the farm family, then New Pond Farm Summer Camp is the right place.  

Camp is open to Family Members of New Pond Farm.

Session dates for summer 2008:

Session I: July 14^th – 18^th 

Session II: July 28^th – August 1^st 

Session III: August 11^th – 15^th

Hours: 9:00 - 4:30 PM 

Fee: $550 per session. Includes snack, lunch and a New Pond Farm t-shirt. 

Please help us to provide more positive experiences for children. Each year we need to raise $40,000 to cover the three 10-day session of camp for youngsters from Norwalk, Bridgeport and Danbury. If you would like to sponsor a child, or if you think your business might be willing to underwrite the stay of one or more campers please call Ann Taylor at 938-2117. We estimate the cost of an individual campership to be $1,600 - but donations of any size will be gratefully received!
