The Schooner Summer Camp, run by the New Haven Land Trust, brings kids to the coastline to explore, learn, grow, get their feet wet out on the water, and above all else have fun! The camp offers a range of activities designed to appeal to young children, ages 6-12 years old. Schooner Camp offers both a land based Shore Program and a Sailing Program in which campers engage in science based learning through adventure, exploration, crafts, songs, and games.

Camp sessions are two-weeks over the summer 

Session 1 | June 26 - July 7

Session 2 | July 10 - July 21 

Session 3 | July 24 - Aug. 4

Session 4 | Aug. 7 - Aug. 18

Camp programming runs from 9am - 3pm, with aftercare available from 3 - 5pm

Shore Program (ages 6-8): Campers in the 2-week Shore Program spend their day exploring the Long Island Sound coastline, searching for prehistoric horseshoe crabs and discovering creatures in their natural habitats! Campers will play games, sing songs, and get their feet wet while learning about local ecosystems. Shore Program fee is $500/session, $650/session + Aftercare.

Sailing Program (ages 9-12): Campers in the 2-week Sailing Program spend half their day exploring the diverse habitats of the Long Island Sound from land, and the other half of the day on the water learning the fundamentals of sailing! Campers will learn how to sail and skipper a small sailboat, learn detailed boat handling maneuvers, knots, boat safety, and how to work well and communicate as a team. Sailing Program fee is $700/session, $850/session + Aftercare.
