Camp Harkness in Waterford, Connecticut

Located at Harkness state park property, this annual one-week overnight summer camp for disabilities (runs for six sessions) has everything to offer that is enjoyable and exciting for campers such as the beach, campfire, dancing and so much more. There are cabins where they can sleep throughout the night.

I loved spending time with my good ol' buddies when my brother and I stayed over last week. What a great experience at Camp Harkness!

Helping my grandma move and was sorting her themed napkins to find this Rugrats napkin from nearly 30 years ago... she said it was from one of my birthday parties so she HAD to keep it 🥹 love her

It's one of my favorite places to visit down in the shoreline. It's majestic and wonderful!

The couple Edward and Mary Harkness were the original owners of that property. Built in between 1905-1907. Acquired by the state in the 1950s and later turned it into the state park which is open to the public with free admission for state residents.

Features mansions, botanical gardens, picnic tables, and the beach.

This old gal was roughly bought in mid/late-70’s, so I’m calling it 50. Regularly used and purrs like a kitten. Zero maintenance, kinda nuts the cheap little fan motor doesn’t hesitate when I crank it to High every time.

Who remembers watching movies on VHS? Borrowing VHS tapes from the library?!? Anyone?

Isn't that fair?!?
