Overview | Summer Adventure
For over 45 years, Summer Adventure has been a fun, safe place for kids to connect with other kids and learn and grow under the watchful care of skilled counselors in a Christian environment. Summer break at Summer Adventure has proven to be a highlight of the entire year. With two offerings, the camp has a place for most everyone that is age and developmentally appropriate.
The high energy elementary program is for kids entering grades 1 through 6, while the cool junior high program is for campers entering grades 7 through 9. Kids will have the opportunity to take day trips to lakes, amusement parks, water parks, indoor bounce parks, and various other locations, soaking in new experiences in a safe way. When on the camp property at the church, the campers enjoy an exciting opening and closing rally each day with games and catchy songs, Bible time, crafts, competition, team time, and snack shop for those rumbling tummies. For a rundown of a typical on site day, click here.
No child is ever lost in the crowd, as small teams allow for an effective counselor-to-camper ratio, giving each child to have ample individual attention. One of the most precious gifts kids walk away with is the investment the counselors have made into their lives as they influence character development. If you want a place where kids can have an exhilarating and impactful time in a safe, Christian environment, Summer Adventure is the place to be. Once you come once, you won’t want to stop!
Summer Adventure sells out quickly so we encourage interested families to register early! Registration is limited to children who will be entering 1st-6th grade and 7th-9th grade in the fall on a first come, first served basis. A non-refundable deposit of $100/week reserves your camper’s place. The remaining balance must be received by June 1, 2023. If the remaining balance is not received by June 1, your space may be forfeited. Camp tuition includes: staff salaries and training, program costs, insurance, field trip transportation and fees, licensing fees and crafts.
Walk-in registrations are not permitted. The children are divided into age groups to allow for age-appropriate activities.
Every effort is taken to ensure the safety of your child. The ratio of staff to children is about 1 to 7, and key staff members are certified in CPR, life guarding, water safety and first aid. To ensure your child’s safety, camper drop-off and pick-up policy will require you to sign your child both in and out on a daily basis. Any other pick-up arrangements will require a written note with your signature when dropping off your child in the morning. For safety reasons, there will be no exceptions to this policy. In accordance with Connecticut state law, no child will be admitted to camp without a current medical examination by a licensed physician. We must have a copy on file before your child will be allowed to attend.
The regular camp day runs from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday. Pre-care (7:30-9:00 AM) and post-care (4:00-5:30 PM) are available for an additional cost.
Staff supervision and activities will be provided during these additional hours. Transportation to and from Summer Adventure is the responsibility of the parents.

CAMP REVIEWS ROBIN GOOD
REVIEWS IN SOCIAL NETWORKS ABOUT THE SUMMER CAMP
Children were in creative Carolina, in August 2021, girls 11 years old. Went for the first time, worried. When before sending I saw that there were a lot of buses and each one was checked by traffic police officers, it already became easier – everything was serious. We met immediately with the leaders – they themselves went to this camp as children! In general, the children are delighted, the lack of gadgets did not upset them much, since they were busy all the time.
They asked to bring a watch to navigate in time and days :))) They fed very well! We will definitely come again! Thanks to everyone who created and works in this wonderful camp!!!
This is the best camp for children in my opinion. And we have four of them and all with great pleasure ask to come to this camp at any time of the year. A beautiful area with its own lake, pine forest, competent and well-coordinated team. Children don’t even have time to talk to their parents on the phone, because it’s fun, interesting, entertaining. Thank you very much and low bow to the organizers and owners.
Awesome camp! Children have a rest not for the first time, they called friends with them, who were also completely delighted! It is very convenient to track their activity on Instagram. They post photos and videos during the shift there. Children call their parents every other day, tell how things are going. But they really have no time to tell us everything, because they are waiting there, and we distract with our conversations 🤣 I recommend!
Great camp.
The child really liked everything: organization, food, living conditions. They fed 5 times a day, plus in the evening they give a milkshake with a cookie. The whole day in the camp is busy with master classes according to the program and other activities. The fact that you can not take your phone with you is a big plus. By the way, a camera is possible. We went on the Gourmania program. He also wants to go next summer.
Hello! For 7 years, my daughter has been going to the camp. And it even happens that you can visit several shifts during the season! Both winter and summer! Robin Hood is the best! Children are constantly engaged in programs. Even the most inactive and eternally bored children are always busy and involved in the camp process! Live! Develop! We are very glad that you are.
Guys!!! Very cool) they sent the youngest, 11 years old to a man, were in different camps, he didn’t like everything, basically there was only one comment, boring! I want to go home, etc.
We arrived at Robin Hood … Everything, for a small other camp now does not exist))) In the season of 22, we will not even look, Robin Hood rules))
“Robin Hood” is located in the southern direction on the border of the Moscow and Kaluga regions, 100 km from the Moscow Ring Road along the Simferopol highway (M2), in an ecologically clean area on the lake in the territory of the unique reserve of the TARUSA group of companies.
