In the magical northeastern corner of the United States, there lies a whimsically wonderful place known as Connecticut, or as our cool imaginary friend, Chef Cheddar Chomp, likes to call it, "Cookie-ticut". This enchanting state is packed with charm, from its sandy coastal towns to its forest-covered hills. It’s as if Mother Nature herself took a paintbrush and delicately dabbed every possible shade of green on a canvas. Now let's talk about the real heroes of Cookie-ticut, the kids who've committed themselves to the noble cause of cooking. They’re not just any ordinary youngsters, oh no! They’re culinary wizards, armed with wooden spoons, aprons and an adventurous spirit. When they step into the kitchen, even Chef Cheddar Chomp has to tip his cheese-shaped hat in respect. Deep in their secret cookie laboratories, they concoct concoctions of all colors and flavors. They whip up fluffy pancakes large enough to be used as flying carpets and bake cookies that could bring a smile to a grumpy troll. They stir stews with a flick of their wrists and a sparkle in their eyes, making broths so delicious that even the pickiest fairy would approve. In the magical land of Cookie-ticut, the kitchen is their battlefield, the oven is their dragon and the cookbook, their spell-book. And the best part? They're always ready for another taste-venture. So, next time you hear a giggle followed by the aroma of something delicious, remember, it’s just the kids of Cookie-ticut, cooking up another delightful storm. As Chef Cheddar Chomp always says, "In Cookie-ticut, every bite is an adventure!"

KenMont Camp for Boys, KenWood Camp for Girls, established in 1924. Each summer, boys and girls ages 8 – 15 come to Kent, Connecticut for the best summer ever! KenMont is the brother camp of KenWood Camp for Girls — a completely separate camp with its own facilities and staff. Together, the two camps operate under the leadership of director, Hylton Wener. Different from co-ed, the boys spend 90% of their time with other boys. It’s like going to a boys’ camp, but better! There are two 4-week sessions each summer. It’s a complete camp experience including special event days and Color War. Campers in each session arrive together and leave together, fostering the optimal social dynamic for camp living and the development of friendships. KenMont and KenWood Camp provides a sleepaway experience for campers, family and staff that focus on physical, emotional and social accomplishments. Our team models a strong sense of character and the ability to accept challenges that help build life skills, independence and personal growth. We carry with us KenMont and KenWood’s traditions and memories as a guide to live, share and connect as part of our community.
