SEP Connecticut:
More than just a pretty setting

By Jeff Broadnax

PLYMOUTH, Connecticut—SEP Connecticut is more than just a beautiful camp setting. We don’t just offer the nation’s best camp food, the friendliest volunteer staff around and a 675-foot zip line, we have young people from Brooklyn to Bangor, Syracuse to South Jersey. Most importantly, we’ve got the blessing of Jesus Christ all over our camp.

Staff will arrive on Saturday, Aug. 20, with campers coming in the next day. The camp ends with a final chapel service on Saturday, Aug. 27, at 11 a.m.

SEP Connecticut is open to third to sixth grade preteens and seventh through 12th grade teens. Applications are available at www.wcg.org/youth. Campers, if you bring four new campers, your tuition is free.

This year, our early bird camper tuition is $175 until July 1. That’s just $10 a week if you start planning now. After July 1, the price goes up to $200 until our application deadline of Aug. 1. Parents note: you may also pay by credit card on the web site.

We are guided, directed, blessed and protected by our Lord Jesus Christ. Our mission is that all who come to SEP Connecticut at beautiful Camp Mattatuck will experience real life with him.

Our days are jampacked with fresh opportunities for our campers and staff to reach higher and experience all that God has in store for them. Campers enjoy enthusiastic worship, thought-provoking chapels, archery, riflery, swimming, volleyball, football, soccer, arts and crafts, dance, baking class, a final banquet, canoeing, a high and low ropes course and other special events.

At night, our campers enjoy a moment of silent reflection before they reminisce with each other a-bout the day’s activities.

Every day is special at SEP Connecticut. The rustic setting and tent living make it a real camp experience, but a week with us is a week you will not soon forget.
