When school ends, and parents are faced with a whole lot of unstructured time with their kids, it's time for summer camp to take over. If that sounds daunting to pay for, we've made it easy for Connecticut parents with our picks for affordable (some even free!) Connecticut summer camps. Remember also to inquire with your local parks and recreation department; these camps tend to be some of the best deals in town.
