About Us
The Recreation Camp is a non profit member of the Valley United Way and has continuously operated a summer camp on the Housatonic River in Derby since 1917. With a staff of 7 State of Connecticut certified teachers and the region’s only Red Cross certified kayaking, canoeing and sailing instructor, our mission is to provide early childhood education and water related activities to children from the communities of Derby, Shelton, Ansonia, Seymour and Oxford during the summer recess. For the very affordable cost of $150.00 per week, your child can spend the summer enjoying a truly wonderful day camp experience – just like when we were kids! The Camp offers multi-child discounts and financial assistance for those who qualify.
