Dear Renbrook School Summer Adventure Families,
I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new Camp Director of Renbrook School Summer Adventure.
As both a parent and an employee of RSSA, I’ve seen firsthand how camp ignites a sense of joy and adventure in campers, creating sum
mer memories that last a lifetime. As a mom to four RSSA alums, current campers, and counselors, our home is filled with woodworking projects, pottery pieces, and stories of bull's eyes on the archery course. Now, as Camp Director, I’m excited to help create these same experiences for your children.
Camp preparations are in full swing, and our team is hard at work ensuring that Summer 2025 will be full of fun, growth, and adventure. I can’t wait to share this journey with all of you, and I look forward to welcoming both new and returning campers to another unforgettable RSSA summer.
Open registration for the 2025 season begins Monday, November 4 at 9am. Our exciting program offerings like swimming lessons, rocketry, high and low ropes, archery, woodworking, ceramics, and so much more are coming your way.
For families with rising 1st-4th graders, please visit the RSSA website to learn more about our new Academic Adventure program. Focused on math and literacy enrichment, Academic Adventure will give campers an opportunity to engage with experienced educators in a structured classroom setting for one hour each day, four mornings a week. The program will run in concert with the camp day and can be selected during the online camp registration process.
Lastly, we are thrilled to be included on this year’s 10th Annual Best of West Hartford voting ballot! Please click here to choose Renbrook School Summer Adventure for Best Camp.
I look forward to sharing a summer of fun and adventure with you all!
Warm regards,
Kathleen Sigrist

Every year, a group of 8th grade students embark on ambitious Trustee Scholar projects to engage in meaningful work in their communities. Each project speaks to the passions and interests of the student involved and showcases the very best of Renbrook`s values.
This year, one student worked with Voices of Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to Holocaust education and remembrance. As a result of this work, Ruth Weiner, a 93-year-old Holocaust Survivor, agreed to come and speak to our US students. Before the visit, Jack and Mr. McLay spoke with Ms. Weiner at length to prepare the program. She offered guidance in making the event age-appropriate and responsive to the interests of the attending grades.
In addition to a short documentary and Ms. Weiner`s speech, a student panel also hosted a Q&A session. This was an incredible learning opportunity, and we are very grateful to Ms. Weiner for sharing her story.
