Well hello there happy campers a

This year we are having the CASH BASH at the Delaware Outdoor Adventure Center. The Camp is named for the Delaware Indians that once lived in the area. It is nestled in the Litchfield Hills of Northwestern Connecticut. The camp is awesome, and the site occupies the same lands as the old Camp Delaware which was originally built in the 1920’s. These camps have been active for over 70 years, it served between 120 and 500 campers each summer. There is 108 acres of woodland, fields, streams, waterfalls, gardens, and lake provide the perfect area for metal detecting.

The site we will be at is a half-hour ride from Bradley Int’l Airport in Hartford and only about two hours from NYC.

The Camps website is at http://delawareoac.com/
