X10 new england

X10 New England is located at the Kent School in Kent, Connecticut, a 1200 acre co-ed campus bordering part of the

Appalachian trail & Housatonic river.

The Kent school was founded on the ideals of service, the importance of respecting others, and respecting one’s self, making it an excellent match for X10.

Between lacrosse sessions with collegiate and professional coaches, boys and girls can cool off at the campus pool or hone their box lacrosse skills before heading to the evening talent show. Mid-week campers will raft down the Housatonic followed by an evening campfire.
