Given they couldn't do trips this year, they brought special activities to camp (petting zoo, bounce houses, etc) and really introduced normalcy back into kids lives. I commend them so much bc it's not easy accomplishing what they did! Most importantly my son was always safe and covid protocol were followed at all times-temperature checks, masks worn by counselors, sanitizing the hands, etc. We feel really lucky to have met them this summer and are so glad we could show our son some fun!!

More people should do this! Project Oceanology gives hands-on boat outings geared towards families…read more These include lighthouse expeditions, oceanographic research cruises (summer), and seal watches (Feb/March). It is the only organization with permission to bring visitors to New London Ledge Lighthouse, which features incredible views from smack dab in the middle of Long Island Sound. Great fun for lighthouse aficionados and those who want to get out on the water! But be warned that other than the AMAZING views, there isn't much to actually see inside the house. If you're expecting a museum or activities for your kids, you might be disappointed and would be better off taking a science cruise. For the lighthouse trip, you will take a boat out to the 1909 working lighthouse and then be given a tour. Don't worry if boats make you nervous, this one is built to keep school kids safe and happy so you will feel very secure! The whole trip is about 2.5 hours and you spend 1.5 hours at the lighthouse. The architecture and history are really cool. The rest of the time you're cruising on Long Island Sound, which is a fun and relaxing activity in itself! The science expeditions are really Project O's forte. The super knowledgeable staff provide a hands-on experience you will love. You will be taught some basic marine science and geography of the area, then you take over as the scientists. Some of the activities include: collecting and testing water and mud samples at depth, visiting the captain to learn about navigation, and best of all: pulling in a trawl net full of Long Island Sound critters! If you are looking for a half-day activity that a gets you out on the water, familiarizes you with the area, is educational, and/or is just a little different than your usual tourist exercise: this is for you. You can certainly manage to stay clean and dry on these cruises but you will have much more fun if you go prepared to get wet and dirty! The boat's cabin is heated. However, you will want an extra layer of clothing for when you're outside. That's where all the good stuff happens. The price is very reasonable: just $19 for adults and $16 for kids. Make sure you call ahead... they will cancel the cruise if they don't get any reservations in advance and on popular days they can sell out! There is a very basic cafe for sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, drinks etc in the building but it's nothing to rave about. However, it's worth leaving a little extra time to wander around the immediate area. The building is located on the UConn - Avery Point campus which is beautiful and easy to walk. Project Oceanology also offers summer camps, scout programs, and birthday parties. I don't know why the website isn't listed here but there is lots more info at http://www.oceanology.org

This year my daughter can't attend camp without a one-on-one. They gave me less than two weeks…read morenotice and now I am going to have to take a week off unpaid in order to stay with both of my children as I am not sending my youngest if her sister is not being accepted. She has previously gone to this camp without an issue. This is essentially retaliation because my daughter was on the gymnastics team and they suspended her for two weeks and on top of the suspension they refused to let her compete at Nationals because she had a medical event (PTSD) where she only attacked me (no one else). This of course violates their core values and violated USAG rules. So I reported them to SafeSport and USAG will determine what consequences they may face as a result. Definitely not signing my children up for this camp ever again. Also, this year they are having water quality issues because bacteria levels are high.

I've visited here three times- I have done two paint your own pieces and did a glass night light class. The staff are extremely helpful and are more than willing to discuss techniques or give their opinion on your approach. They are very quick in getting your pieces fired and ready to go home, as well! Their Facebook page is frequently updated with events and any promotions, so definitely check it out. You won't be disappointed with your piece- great for yourself or a gift! This is a fun date place or fun for a gathering of friends. Totally judgment free! Try them out!!

The indoor theater offers a small snack and beverage area featuring quirky, on-theme cocktails based on the show experience. We were greeted warmly and checked in quickly by theater staff. Seating can be a challenge because it's an intimate setting with first come, first serve arrangements. The staff is clearly well-versed in getting ticket holders settled in and scoping out extra seats for standby seating. I consider this a small, quaint community theater with an array of unique players/cast members. I went to see Into the Woods and cackled all night at the high energy performance. The acoustics are phenomenal because Red Riding Hoods screams rang in my ears long after she stopped yelling. There are also outdoor shows and I am eager to return to see one of those outside performances.
