Camp Playland of New Canaan

Pre-K Camp is our program for the youngest Playland campers. From archery to boating and fishing to zip-lining these campers experience every aspect of Camp Playland but are able to go at their own pace as they adjust to camp. The Pre-K program is exceptionally warm and nurturing and non-competitive. Our staff nurtures each child and helps build social skills, motor development, and foster imagination.

Kindergarten Camp is all about new adventures for curious and growing four and five year olds. Kindergarten campers are involved in every aspect of Camp Playland life, and specialists carefully plan exciting and nurturing activities exclusively for this age group. The program is designed for campers to enjoy a full day at camp without feeling exhausted or overwhelmed.

Lower Camp campers are active and ready to go! Entering first and second grade, these campers transition out of the Pre-K and Kindergarten buildings and become more independent campers. The entire Lower Camp eats together in the Picnic Pavilion and enjoys supervised free play in the camps largest play area during arrival and after lunch.

Campers entering third through sixth grade are in Upper Camp. These campers enjoy Playlands most mature and enhanced camp program. From extensive arts to House League sporting competitions to a late night at camp, Upper Camp campers get the best of Lower Camp with more opportunity to explore, grow, and challenge themselves.

Playlands program for campers entering grades 7&8 allows campers to create an individualized Camp Playland experience!

Additionally, as the oldest campers at Playland, Senior Campers enjoy field trips off campus once a week, orienteering courses, intensive science courses, CIT opportunities, and a sleepover at Club Getaway in Kent, CT.
