Welcome to Camp Claire
Camp Claire is a rustic, old-fashioned summer camp that overlooks beautiful Hamburg Cove in Lyme, Connecticut. For over 100 years, we have provided children with some of the best summers of their lives.
Ages 8 - 14
Residential Camp
Camp Claire offers seven ONE-WEEK overnight sessions throughout the summer. ALL campers go home on Saturdays. Campers are able to partake in several different classes of their own choosing.
Ages 6 - 13
Day Camp
Day campers participate in daily classes and afternoon programs along with the residential campers. Every Wednesday day campers have the option to stay over for the night so they can experience an evening program, and what it is like to sleepover in the cabins.
Ages 14 - 15
Leader in Training
This program is designed to help young people work in cooperative groups and develop leadership skills. Many successful participants in this program join our Counselor In Training program the next season.
Ages 15 - 16
Counselor in Training
Counselor in Training is a four-week program for 15 and 16 year olds who would like to apply to become counselors the following summer.
