Family Camping

Here is a sample of our family camping events at nearby Charlie Brown Campground in Eastford, CT. Sue Duhamel (860-870-3984 or s.duhamel@comcast.net was in charge of registration and information.

We do a pot luck dinner on Saturday night. Each family provides their own main course and then is assigned a dessert or salad to bring to share.

Tent or camper required. We can help out if someone wants to attend but does not have a tent. Cost runs between $75 and $85 for the weekend. This depends on the number attending. Web site: http://charliebrowncampground.com/

Schedule of Events

Kids can do tubing or swim in the river (not very high), fish in children's pond and play on swing set.
