Still Some Room in Camp KO; Sessions Begin June 16
Still making summer plans for your family? Consider Camp KO, Kingswood Oxford's unique day camp for kids entering grades 5-11. There is space available in some sessions, including the first week of camp -- June 16-20.
Like a lot of camps, Camp KO offers a number of focused programs in academics, athletics and the arts; some of the most popular include robotics, a cappella, mock trial, and squash.
But it’s the “extras” that set Camp KO apart: inspirational speakers; personal, handwritten evaluations; healthy-eating seminars; and deep breathing, stretching and conditioning exercises for all campers, regardless of the program they choose.

“On a scale of 1 to 10, Camp KO is a 10!” said Nick Urso, who attended the baseball and soccer programs last year, during Camp KO’s inaugural summer.
Camp KO is held on Kingswood Oxford’s conveniently located campus, steps from Blue Back Square, West Hartford Center, and the Park Road district. There are five one-week sessions: June 16-20; July 7-11, 14-18, 21-25; and July 28-Aug. 1.

“I loved my own summer camp experience – I had loads of fun, made lifelong friends, and improved the most during those summer days on the tennis courts,” said Shea, a tennis pro with more than 30 years of experience. “I hope that Camp KO will offer that same experience, and similar memories, to another generation of kids!”
