Colebrook, CT

Site Highlights

Colebrook’s 540 acre property boasts a variety of hiking trails and natural features which make for an exciting week of exploration. The summit of Sunrise Mountain is one of the most popular destinations; groups climb 270 feet to reveal a beautiful view of the camp below. Along the way, students can climb inside a two story tree house or participate in ropes course challenges. A hike around the base of Sunrise Mountain leads to an old homestead cemetery which is an excellent place to discuss New England history and the relationships between people and they land they inhabit. Extended field groups are a perfect opportunity to make the three-mile journey around Triangle Lake.
