I am having a problem trying to find out where the Sikorsky Helicopter plant is in CT. My daughter is camping out there with the Boy Scouts and I want to bring her other son there to stay in a hotel.

Anyone have any idea where it is and what hotels are near by?

Thank you.

From the UTC website it looks like this is the location of the plant http://www.sikorsky.com/details/1,,C...ETI726,00.html

I know I saw a Sikorski sign on the way back from New England recently.
Looks like they have several facilities, Stratford, Bridgeport,Shelton and Trumbull

Do you know which one? maybe contact Sikorski directly?
All of those locations are near suburban corporate hotels that are reasonably priced on the weekends

Sikorsky is located at the intersection of Rts 15 & 110 in the northern part of Stratford. There are a number of hotels(Hilton garden, marriott residence inn & more) just a few minutes away in the town of Shelton

They listed several but I think only one produces the planes.

Thanks for your help.

In the past, the scouts have camped out on the front lawn of the Stratford plant. That is where most of the assembly is done & the flight testing is also done

thanks Swimdad, this is also my daughters first camping trip, so we are going to book in the Hilton 1 mile away (so the site for them says). I cannot see her camping but she was promised an indoor shower and cafeteria food. Just wanted to make sure I had the right place.
