Connecticut Yankee Council presently operates five camps: Camp Sequassen in New Hartford, Deer Lake Scout Reservation in Killingworth, Hoyt Scout Reservation in Redding, Camp Pomperaug in Union, and Wah Wah Taysee in North Haven. Owaneco Lodge is the Order of the Arrow lodge that serves this council.
