CAMP MOE MEMORABLE OUTDOOR EXPERIENCES

Camp MOE is a day camp for boys and girls, ages 5 – 14. Diversity and Respect are the backbone of Camp MOE. Located on over 165 acres of beautiful woods in Litchfield County, complete with fields, trails and our beautiful waterfront.

The mission of Camp MOE is to provide an ideal outdoor recreation environment where all campers with or without disabilities have the opportunity to develop friendships, leadership skills, responsibility for self and respect for others. Camp MOE empowers campers to look beyond their abilities and the abilities of others while supporting them to grow mentally, physically, and socially in a safe inclusive environment.

Our campers learn patience, acceptance and challenge themselves to give each camper self-confidence and the chance to make lasting friendships. If you want your child to be the best version of themselves and set them up for success in their future, sign them up for a summer at Camp MOE!
