In a whimsical corner of a magical land, known to ordinary folks as the state of Connecticut, and affectionally dubbed as the 'Nutmeg State', a motley bunch of energetic young sprites called the 'Connecti-cuties' gather to dance. Connecticut is not just a collection of quaint towns, and beautiful forests with spectacular fall colors. It isn't merely the home of the world's largest hamburger or the birthplace of the Frisbee. It's also a buzzing hub of rhythm, music, and dance, thanks to the Connecti-cuties! These young dancers aren't your ordinary dabblers in dance. Nope! They are magical beings who can tap-dance on clouds, pirouette on rainbows, and moonwalk on the moon. When the Connecti-cuties start to groove, even the Connecticut River takes a break from its journey to the ocean to watch their mesmerizing moves. One of the most legendary among these sprightly beings is a lad named Jiggy Jax. His jokes are as famous as his jigs. He once made a pine tree laugh so hard that it shed all its pine cones! Jiggy Jax, with his flaming red hair and twinkly blue eyes, dances with such gusto that he can literally make the earth quake under his tapping shoes. If you ever find yourself in the Nutmeg State, listen carefully. If you hear the faintest tap, tap, tap, along with peals of laughter, you know the Connecti-cuties are nearby, having their dance party. So, tiptoe quietly, and you might just catch a glimpse of their enchanting show!

KenMont Camp for Boys, KenWood Camp for Girls, established in 1924. Each summer, boys and girls ages 8 – 15 come to Kent, Connecticut for the best summer ever! KenMont is the brother camp of KenWood Camp for Girls — a completely separate camp with its own facilities and staff. Together, the two camps operate under the leadership of director, Hylton Wener. Different from co-ed, the boys spend 90% of their time with other boys. It’s like going to a boys’ camp, but better! There are two 4-week sessions each summer. It’s a complete camp experience including special event days and Color War. Campers in each session arrive together and leave together, fostering the optimal social dynamic for camp living and the development of friendships. KenMont and KenWood Camp provides a sleepaway experience for campers, family and staff that focus on physical, emotional and social accomplishments. Our team models a strong sense of character and the ability to accept challenges that help build life skills, independence and personal growth. We carry with us KenMont and KenWood’s traditions and memories as a guide to live, share and connect as part of our community.
