As the oldest and largest FREE summer day camp in the nation, Hartford's Camp Courant provides a safe, exciting and educational environment in which Hartford's youth ages five through 12 participate in active learning opportunities and fun activities focused on positive youth development and healthy lifestyle choices. Campers become part of a historic camp community that continues to grow and evolve, but has also stood the test of time for 123 years. Camp's mission is grounded in the central premise that fun yet educational experiences will have a positive and lifelong impact on our young campers, many of whom lack structured programming during the summer months. As a youth development organization, we combine traditional camp activities such as swimming, arts and crafts, and sports with over a dozen enrichment programs that expose our campers to ideas and opportunities that spark their imaginations and inspire them to be their best in a safe, nurturing, fresh-air setting. FUNDRAISING EVENTS/OPPORTUNITIES You are invited! Our annual year-end Buddy Bash celebration is held at our campsite in Farmington in September every year. The event is put together by a large committee of board, staff and community stakeholders. The event also honors one organization and one individual who are dedicated to supporting an exciting, educational and robust youth-development experience for thousands of Hartford's kids, summer after summer. The 2017 award winners were Charlie & Janet Lenore and Consigli Construction. The evening features lavish hors d'oeuvres from almost 20 area restaurants and includes delicious brews, great entertainment and exciting silent auction items, all in support of Hartford's young people. Want to support the 2018 Buddy Bash? Become a sponsor, buy a ticket to the event, donate in-kind services (printing, tables, chairs, linens, etc), donate an auction item, or donate food or drinks for the event.
