The East Kent Hamlet Nature Preserve, formerly known as Camp Francis, is a 252-acre property located in Kent and Warren, Connecticut. This historic site, which once operated as an overnight camp for Girl Scouts, features remnants of Kent's first iron forge and includes a network of trails and natural habitats.

Acquired by the Kent Land Trust in 2014 through community support and various funding sources, the preserve offers over 2.5 miles of roads and trails for visitors to explore. The land showcases a rich history, with structures like the historic forge and the renovated Girl Scout barn, known as The Rafters, providing insight into the area's past.
