Joyful Connection and Unforgettable Moments

Nanny Camp is where genuine community thrives. Every activity is an opportunity to bond, whether through competition or creation.

  • Two young women, one sitting and one standing, wearing casual clothes and party accessories, smiling and having fun together, with a fire extinguisher and bulletin board visible in the background.

    Connection & Celebration: Experience high-energy, shared fun designed to bring the group together. Whether it's a themed party, a surprise competition, or an impromptu sing-along, we focus on creating unforgettable memories.

  • Woman relaxing in a hammock with another person nearby, sitting in a chair, amidst camping gear and a tent in a wooded area, surrounded by trees and greenery, enjoying the outdoors together.

  • Beads and containers on a table with a child, showcasing a creative activity. Colorful beads in various containers, a purple water bottle, and a child's hands visible in the background, engaged in an arts and crafts project.

Honoring the Land

Land Acknowledgment

As we gather for Nanny Camp 2025 at SJ Riding Camp in Ellington, Connecticut, we acknowledge that this land has a deep and enduring connection with the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded it for centuries. This area is the traditional, ancestral homeland of the Podunk and Wangunk tribes, who are part of the Algonquian-speaking peoples.

The Podunk and Wangunk communities lived along the fertile banks of the Connecticut River, practicing sustainable agriculture, hunting, and fishing, and maintained a harmonious relationship with the land, water, and natural resources. Their legacy of environmental stewardship and community care continues to inspire us.

We honor their past and present descendants and express our gratitude for the privilege to gather, learn, and connect on these lands. We commit to respecting the ongoing relationship between Indigenous peoples and the land, and we recognize the history and culture that have shaped this region.

As we enjoy this beautiful space, we encourage everyone to reflect on the significance of this land and our responsibility to honor its past, present, and future caretakers.
