About Us

Camp Awosting, located on Bantam Lake in Connecticut, has offered boys a summer of growth, adventure, and friendship since 1900. Our mission is to help boys build confidence and independence through engaging activities in a supportive community.


For over a century, we’ve combined tradition with fun, guiding campers through over 40 activities that foster personal development, resilience, and lasting memories.

Awosting is led by a hands-on leadership team that believes relationships come first. We notice when a camper feels unsure, celebrate small wins, and partner closely with families — especially during a child’s first summer away from home.

What a Summer at Awosting Feels Like

There’s a rhythm to Awosting days – steady mornings, full days of activity and choice, and camp wide games every evening before things slow down with laughs, stories, and connection. It’s the kind of summer that sticks, and one that leaves boys more confident, capable, and fully themselves.

My 9 year old son just returned from four weeks at Awosting and he said it was the best summer of his life. We were so impressed with everything. The facilities are gorgeous, the counselors were awesome and fun but also reliable, the leadership was communicative and supportive…and it was just so much fun. This place is just paradise for boys. Easy to get to, food is excellent, and they have great medical staff as well. A magical place!
