Camp DeWolfe

The food was great! The salt level was perfect as I did not feel thirsty afterwards. The portions were generous. I was not hungry but I kept eating because it was delicious. I really liked the eggplant parmesan. The bed was firm and I slept so well. It was a cold, rainy weekend but the heating kept me very warm in the lodge and inside the hall. Beautiful place with lots of nature and walk to the beach was wonderful.

My family stayed in the historic Benson House here for a relaxed reunion/retreat the past few days. The house is huge and there was plenty of room for all our extended family (about 17 people). The house is “antique”, so gear your expectations accordingly; beds were comfortable and we had enough hot water. We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen, though a little smallish, sufficed. We grilled out several times and that worked very well. The grounds are beautiful and there’s lots to do for all ages. We saw groundhogs, deer, raccoons, and dozens of squirrels. Our favorite thing was sitting and talking around the fire pit (wood is provided), gazing out at the magnificent view of Long Island Sound. The location is secluded but relatively close to grocery, restaurants, shopping, and vineyards. The property manager, Matt, was super responsive and went out of his way to be helpful and accommodating. This was probably the best vacation we have ever taken all together and would highly recommend Camp DeWolfe - we would love to return!

I went there around 2015 with my cousin and her church group, the food was great, there were plenty of activities, and the beach was absolutely beautiful. Before going I was a little skeptical as I'd really only heard bad things about "Christian Camps" but even as an agnostic I felt more than welcomed and everyone I spoke to was incredibly respectful. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

The chapel is a part of the camp and is in a lovely wooded setting. There is a long pathway down to the beach. The area is not open to the public.

I was a camper at Camp Dewolf in 1968 and 1969! My nephew also attended in 1990’s. When I go through the pictures on the website, it brings such a smile to my face! A lot has changed but I still see the chapel. The beach was always the favorite part of day. When the whistle blew you had to do a buddy check! The steps leading to the beach seemed like forever! We didn’t have railings! Just our legs and each other for support. My fondest memory was Mr. Russell . He called me pumpkin pie! He was the nicest compassionate person I ever met. I will cherish these memories forever!
