Special Events are a major part of our summer fun. Aside from great performers who come to entertain us, we have lots of music going on. There are major nighttime and Poolside Concerts that rock. We have a day of Laser Tag, and we go to see our local baseball heroes--the New Britain Rock Cats--where we just about take over the Stadium!
Mostly though, we make our own great times in-house with so many Special Days & Nights at Wah-Nee. We feature 3 "Mini-Camp" days where you choose your very favorite activity (sports, arts, water, you name it...) and do it ALL DAY! It's another way you get more of everything you love best! We also have spirited Lip Synch competitions, Skit nights, Campfires, Luaus...the list goes on!

Then there's Color War at Wah-Nee--done like no one else can do it! It's five days of fun and mayhem, where we throw everything we've done all summer long into the pot & mix it up! Don't even try to guess when or how Color War wil break this year--that's TOP SECRET--but it's sure to be spectacular (and as beautiful as that hot air balloon you see on this page!) It's truly an amazing event, one more reason why Wah-Nee is Like No Other Camp in the World. Other camps have Color Wars...It's just better here!
We love our visits from Pro Athletes every summer, representing many different sports. Last summer featured NBA star David Lee of the New York Knicks, making his second appearance at Wah-Nee. He just loves coming to Wah-Nee, and has a great way of speaking with all our kids. He is open, honest and caring, and really let us all get to know him! We were also thrilled to welcome starting defensive tackle Barry Cofield of the NFL World Champion New York Giants to camp. That's some ring, Barry! Wow! Barry (6'4", 315 lbs) took an unusual path to success in the NFL, and has great perspective on life and football. It was a treat to have such a bright and engaging young athlete join us at camp! Past summers have featured stars like 7 foot tall Nenad Krstic of the NJ Nets (see below!) and Mark Jackson from the Knicks who now braodcasts NBA games! All our athletes are chosen because they're great role models who share uplifting stories that our kids take positive messages from.
We were also thrilled to welcome Jennie Finch, a remarkable woman considered the greatest women's softball player in U.S. history. Jennie signed autographs for everyone and put on a simply awesome pitching demonstration! She throws the equivalent of a 100 mph fastball, and seeing it live and up close was a genuine treat! To top it all off, she helped us to break Color War 2007! What a spectacular day at camp! Past years have brought many greats from the NBA, NFL and other pro sports...can you guess who will show up next summer?!!
