My brother and I attended Camp Washington about 47 years ago when we were 10 and 11 - we LOVED it…read more I have the best memories of the experience - the cabins were clean, the counselors were friendly, we did a lot of arts and crafts and there was swimming at the lake, lots of singing, games on the lawn and great fireside ghost stories about human sized eagles who lived in caves, the homemade Doughnuts and of course, our Welcome to Washington song, which we can still belt out at the drop of a hat, complete with clapping and cheering portion. We attended for two weeks almost every summer for 5 years. I'm so glad and thankful that my grandparents, who lived in Milford, CT, made it possible for us to attend. Best camp experience ever!

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.

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!!

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'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.

I came here for a birthday party and it was the first time visiting this farm. It is pretty cute…read moreand the birthday party was held in a small building with its own kitchen. The kids had fun feeding the farm animals. I will have to admit I had fun too. There are all sorts of farm animals, such as chickens, cats, dogs, goats, horses, bunnies, pigs and more. I am a cat person and I enjoy looking for the barn cats. The place is pretty clean for a farm and the kids enjoy the tractor ride. All the employees were nice and friendly. If you're planning a fun kids party, this is a great place for them.

You can't miss the iconic large red barn that has the word EGGS, but backwards on it. Flamig Farm…read morehas been in existence since 1907; located in West Simsbury. First visit, I got there around 4:40 and they were closing at 5; it was a short trip because I just wanted to get some eggs. The employee said they were closing soon and so was the petting zoo when I first walked in; I mentioned I was going to be quick and just wanted to get some eggs. I didn't know they had a petting zoo so I made a plan to go back again another time. The store was your typical farm stand, they had eggs, honey, cookies, apparel, and various of other knick knacks. They were having a sale, buy one dozens eggs ($7) and get one dozen free. The chickens were laying too many eggs and they wanted to get rid of as many as possible. The second time, I got in earlier in the day and purchased petting zoo tickets; $8 per person over 2 years old/under 80 years old and for an additional $2, you can purchase feed. I highly recommend getting the feed, the animals loved it. The petting zoo was bigger than I thought. There's even a playground with benches and picnic tables. The place seemed clean and the animals seem well taken care of. We saw pigs, llamas (my favorite), sheep, goats, alpacas, peacocks, cows, ponies (another favorite), donkeys, bunnies, chickens, and a black cat.Inside the shop, there were baby chicks, birds, and guinea pigs. There were signs explaining what type of animals, facts, and their story/names throughout. They also offer pony and tractor rides for an additional fee. There's a huge pavilion with picnic tables; you can bring your own food in. Also, there is an Airbnb onsite and people book their weddings there. There are many events hosted there as well; children programs and summer camps are popular ones. My kids and I had a blast petting and feeding the animals. I highly recommend!
