Killooleet Camp

Families looking for a summer escape that seamlessly blends both the arts and sports need look no further than Camp Killooleet. Hidden away in a lush corner of Vermont's Green Mountain National Forest, this camp for boys and girls aged 9-14 is more than just scenery—it's a home away from home. For over seven decades, Killooleet has been helmed by educators who not just instruct, but also engage with their charges. Their philosophy? Children ought to immerse themselves in activities they adore. As such, this doesn't merely involve stuffing your time with random acts; it’s all about engagement and fostering passion. The camper who has an affinity for painting needn't give up their spot on the softball team. The enthusiastic basketball player can lead the dramatic production or trot with the horses. At Killooleet, you don't have to choose—it's about embracing diversity, going off the beaten path, and embracing your interests in a non-competitive, individual-centered environment. Here, powerful bonds are formed through shared work and play, an experience that rarely leaves room for unnecessary defences. As a result, vitality simply bursts forth in an iridescent cascade of experiences and emotions. Most attendees of Camp Killooleet head home only to eagerly await the following summer, ready for a fresh chapter in this second family where they can simply be themselves. After all, there's no place as rewarding as a place where you call the shots and "you" is the best thing you can be.
