Camp Awosting

Set on the shores of Lake Bantam in Connecticut, this family-run camp for boys ditches electronics and phones in favor of fun outdoor pursuits. The daily schedule features three morning activities and two afternoon electives; campers can pursue aquatics, sports, the arts, science, boating and more, although Awosting throws in “extreme” options, like motocross and mountain-boarding. The boys sometimes join the girls from nearby sister camp Chinqueka for joint activities, dances and off-camp trips. Ages 6–16.
