    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

    I will no longer send my children here. The camp director is absolutely horrible. Does not respond…read moreto any emails or phone calls. My son had an incident on the water that was very terrifying to him, and instead of addressing any concerns we had we were completely ignored. The lack of communication is astounding. I cannot believe this director still has a job.

    I'll start by saying we have had good experiences with Camp Watchaug in the past but last year was…read morenot up to the standard set by previous years. Watchaug Pond was closed for 9/10 camp days in my daughter's session, and the kids were not able to take advantage of any of the water activities advertised as part of the camp experience until her last day of camp. Although the counselors tried to keep the kids busy with crafts and land activities, the water activities are a huge reason why I don't mind paying the higher price for Watchaug versus other camps. Communication with camp admin was terrible- no updates as to the situation at camp (i.e., what was going on with the water) or what was being done to keep the kids cool on very hot days. I called and/or emailed asking to speak to the camp director several times regarding the situation and to (nicely) ask for some kind of credit since 11 of 16 activities they advertised as part of camp were not offered. To date, I have received no response whatsoever from the director (neither phone call or email). Our children will not be returning to Camp Watchaug.
