Incarnation Camp
Located in coastal Connecticut, on over 700 wooded acres surrounding a mile long private lake, Camps Pequot and Sherwood are the country's oldest coed camps. Since 1886, we have provided a fun-filled traditional camp with experiential learning and group living in the outdoors. Our programs guide campers through well-rounded, creative and adventurous programs that develop an appreciation for nature and celebrate the uniqueness of each individual. Campers and staff are a diverse group of people coming from all over the U.S. and around the world.
Pioneer Village, our teen program, is a very unique and special sleep away camp. The intimate capacity of 65 campers allows for a very special bond within the camp community. Here, campers enjoy creating activities and heading off site for some real adventure!

Caring Counselors & Staff
Caring Counselors & Staff claim the strongest element of Incarnation Camp’s program is its team of dedicated counselors and staff. A one-to-four staff to camper ratio ensures that our campers are supervised at all times. Eighty percent of our staff are former Incarnation Camp campers and nearly half of our staff returns each summer. Staff members are carefully chosen on the basis of maturity, responsibility, and experience. Training is provided to further develop leadership skills, personal sensitivity, and special understanding for children’s needs.
Health & Safety
The safety of all campers is our prime concern. Campers and staff are required to wear life jackets while boating, helmets when horseback riding, and harnesses when using the ropes course. All activities are always supervised by properly trained and certified staff. Registered nurses staff our well-equipped health center and provide routine care and emergency treatment. In addition, we have local pediatricians on
24-hour call. Shoreline Emergency Medical Clinic is located only five minutes away in case of a serious accident or illness, and Middlesex Hospital is only a 20-minute drive. At the camp, all units have a first aid kit as well as staff certified in American Red Cross First Aid and CPR to ensure that immediate needs are met quickly.
Food Service
The camp’s food service includes three balanced and kid-friendly meals provided each day, and served family style to all campers and staff. All meals are planned and prepared by qualified professionals who know kids. A salad bar is offered during lunch and vegetarian options are provided to those that require it. Campers are encouraged to try a little bit of everything and second helpings are always available. Incarnation Camp emphasizes that meal times should be a relaxed and enjoyable break from camp activities. At the end
of meals the dining halls are filled with song and laughter.
Registration & Payment
Early registration is strongly advised in order to secure admission. A non-refundable registration fee of $100 per camper is to be submitted with each camper application for each session attended.
