1/19/25 - By Jennifer Coe

February Winter Break gives Connecticut kids a few days off from school, and screen-time is a waste of a perfectly good day! So families will be happy to know that there are several one-day camps and week-long workshops being held during Connecticut Winter vacation that will occupy them and even educate them. Themes like STEM, Art, Nature and more will occupy their days for pretty reasonable prices too!

Looking for more fun and playtime? Go to one of the Best Museums for Kids in Connecticut or dig into our complete list of School Break Camps. Make sure you sign up for our newsletter and check our calendar as we add new things every, single day!
