BROOKLYN, New York— For more than 20 years, the young people of the Northeast have been blessed to have access to an annual summer camp in Connecticut.

This year, as we have for the last several years, we will use Camp Mattatuck in Plymouth. Our camp will run from Sunday, Aug. 18, through Saturday, Aug. 24. We can accommodate teens and preteens, ages 7 to 18.

We will run two programs simultaneously, with separate staff members serving the needs of each group. Some activities are conducted with all the campers together.

For example, after breakfast each day, we begin with a chapel service for all campers and staff. Our young people share in the leading of worship on these occasions. Our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, is certainly central to all of the activities at SEP Connecticut.

Our camp in the woods has its own lake where all water sports are conducted. The waterfront has a swimming area, and canoes and sailboats are also available. In addition to water sports, our camp offers soccer, volleyball, kickball, archery, riflery, arts and crafts, flag football, dance and a COPE (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience) course.

This ropes course offers low, medium and high elements for use of campers depending on age and experience. This program teaches team building and develops confidence in the campers.

Accommodations are in cabins and platform tents. The dining hall overlooks the waterfront, and the wonderful food complements the scenery.

We have the best possible scenario in terms of leadership, with experienced staff augmented by new team members. Our camp staff is experienced in the various details of youth camp administration, as many of the staff have served at the camp for several years.

As we have grown, we have added new staff members who bring a fresh approach. The camp program has been in existence long enough that several of our staff were campers in the past.

We invite you to join us for an unforgettable summer experience on the lake at SEP Connecticut.
