Every summer, for six weeks of pure fun, Camp AnSeOx in Oxford, CT
comes alive with Girl Scout adventure! With a swimming pool, a
spacious pavilion, and updated facilities, AnSeOx is the perfect place
to make friends, build skills, and discover the magic of the outdoors
all summer long. Here, campers spend their days swimming, exploring
forest trails, playing field games, creating hands-on crafts, and
sharing songs and laughter with new friends. From the thrill of
outdoor challenges to the comfort of camp traditions, every moment at
AnSeOx is filled with excitement, growth, and memories that last a
lifetime.
Because Camp AnSeOx 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, AnSeOx offers something
special for everyone.
