Every summer, for six weeks of pure fun, Camp Aspetuck in Weston, CT
comes alive with Girl Scout adventure! With a swimming pool, a unique
swamp walk, and a historic cabin for arts and crafts, Aspetuck blends
classic camp traditions with one-of-a-kind experiences in a cozy,
welcoming setting. Here, campers spend their days swimming, exploring
nature, playing games in the field, creating projects in the cabin,
and sharing songs and laughter with new friends. From the thrill of
outdoor challenges to the comfort of camp traditions, every moment at
Aspetuck is filled with excitement, growth, and memories that last a
lifetime.
Because Camp Aspetuck runs for six full weeks,
families can choose the theme that fits their schedule-or come back
for more than one to keep the adventure going all summer! Whether
you're a brand-new camper or a returning favorite, Aspetuck offers
something special for everyone.
