Awosting and Chinqueka are related camps for boys and girls, respectively, located on a lake in Bantam, Connecticut. This review is specifically for Chinqueka. It has cabins that have their own bathrooms but not showers (there is a separate shower house). There is a wide range of artistic and athletic activities, plus required swimming and boating lessons. There is (or at least was, when I was there) a system where campers earned stickers in each activity by performing certain tasks assigned to different levels, and received certificates at the end of camp with all the stickers on them. It wasn't my favorite camp experience, but a lot of the activities were fun.
