Camp Sequassen is a Scouting America (BSA) resident summer camp run by the Connecticut Yankee Council on 600 wooded acres on West Hill Pond in New Hartford, operating since 1927. Scouts stay overnight and choose from 60+ merit badges spanning swimming, archery, and rowing to STEM fields, with tiered programming from first-year Wilderness Patrol to older-Scout high adventure.

This camp is a perfect blend of adventure, learning, and personal growth. It’s an ideal setting to build leadership skills, forge lifelong friendships, and create memories that last a lifetime. I highly recommend this summer scout camp to any troop looking for a transformative scouting experience.
This camp is life changing for scouts of all ages. The staff is incredible and deserves everything in the world. The campfire programs are awesome and the staff are great performers! I love the idea of merit badge classes, everyone gets to learn about their interests. I love the food and constant action of camp, especially the competitions like the Fire Hose, The Voice, or Bug Wall. I always attend these activities and gain so much life experience. As an SPL, I always am begging for my campers to go to this camp, even those who hate Scouting and are forced to go still find enjoyment here. This camp was life changing for me, I used to hate camping and everything about it but here changed my mind on everything. I go week 2 every single year, and I like how all of the troops who go week 2 every year become a little family. I have made so many lifelong friends there. Even though I only see them one week a year, I enjoy seeing them and hearing about their lives in other places. I cried when I had to leave, this place is incredible. You know I loved it when I cried to the Sequassen loyalty song. I love those lyrics, especially verse 3. And when the day comes that we are leaving We’ll smile and cheer and sing our song For we’ll return to our Camp Sequassen It’s the place good scouts belong And I indeed will return. Thank you to the entire Camp Sequassen team for making this camp one of my favorite places on earth. Just a couple notes/ questions from my week 2: Did Jerome get a bear after the friendship fire Thursday night? If the golden buzzer girl goes professional someday, I was at her original performance at handicrafts! (You should have chose Simon!) Bug Wall is just a dance party!? Im going to miss you Ryan! Happy birthday! “Alright, I can draw a line from my left ear to my right ear:)” No LiNe!! Duck Day will always remain as the tradition right? Well, Thats the end of my essay. This camp changed my life, and I hope the response person actually leaves me a legit/long comment. It’s the place good scouts belong.
The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always cheerful. One of the best BSA camps I have stayed at over the past 15 years!
My son, husband and I had a great time!! My first time camping and it was awesome!
I am a Boy Scout, so I attend this campsite. It is a truly wonderful place to be. The staff are great, the camp is big, with a open field for sports, several camping sites, a shooting range for rifles and bow and arrows, as well as shotguns, but you have to be over 14 to use the shotguns. There is also a trading Post with various treats and items. The food as well is very well made. There is also a beautiful pond that you can swim in. There is also the Hermit Springs, which is fresh water you can drink from. You can get lots done at Sequassen, so come enjoy yourself here at Sequassen, as long as your a Boy Scout. It is a amazing place.
