Sunfox invites you to visit our swimming pool complex. The main pool is 24 x 48, with an extended L-shape design that is 12 x 42, featuring a zero-depth beach entry perfect for our younger swimmers. We also offer a whirlpool hot tub spa for adults 18 & over, as well as a large deck. Both the pool and the hot tub utilize state-of-art chlorinators, supplemented by UV and Ozone sanitizing systems, providing superior water clarity.
2024 Expected Pool Hours and Dates: We expect to re-open the pool in mid-May (May 10 is our goal), with limited weekend hours in the spring and fall, and full-time hours of 10am to 8pm in the summer (June 14 through Labor Day), weather permitting. The pool and hot tub are open through the weekend of September 13-15. The adult hot tub is heated to 100 degrees all summer, and on spring and fall weekends, while the pool is heated a little on weekends in the early spring, and again in the fall (Labor Day through pool closing on Sept 15). Although open on weekdays in the spring and fall, the swimming pool and hot tub are heated on the weekends only in the spring and fall, and while the optimal 100 degree temperature can be maintained in the hot tub, overnight and daily temperatures will help determine the ability to raise the temperature of the swimming pool to our desired 76 degrees on spring & fall weekends. A reminder that the pool and all Sunfox facilities are limited to registered campers and their paid guests. Sorry, but the pool is not open to non-campers just looking for a place to swim on a hot day.

After a rigorous permit process, Custom Construction Designs LLC (of nearby Griswold CT) worked hard to install the heated L-shaped pool, which features a zero-depth beach entry, ideal for our younger swimmers, with the slope gradually reaching a depth of 3.5 feet. This portion of the pool is 12 feet wide and 42 feet long. The main component of the pool is 24 feet wide and 48 feet long, ideal for pool volleyball, basketball or just plain swimming. We also feature a whirlpool hot tub for the adults, 10 feet in diameter. The stamped concrete deck and fencing was installed by Mancini Pool Decks of Wolcott, while our gazebo and pump shed is from Carefree Buildings of Colchester. The project was financed by our friends at Dime Savings Bank of Norwich. The pool complex is located at our ballfield area (shown on our site map), providing afternoon shade along the southwestern side of the pool. The swimming pool did require us to move our kickball field to the other end of the field, and we have relocated our beach volleyball court to be near the Jumping Pillow.
