Comprehensive Guide to Vermont Summer Camps 2025

0

In the cold days of winter, it’s hard to imagine that it’s ever going to be hot again. But before you know it, snow will start melting and trees will begin to bud. And if you don’t have your kid’s summer camps picked out long before then, you’re pretty much SOL. I mean, to be frank.

That’s why local mom, Tarica put together this comprehensive list of Vermont summer camps- to save a lot of parents a lot of time and effort. Thank you, Tarica, for allowing us to share this!


Please note: We are sharing this guide to Vermont summer camps as a resource to help Vermont families. However, information changes, and we are human, so please double check all info, particularly registration dates.

If you know of or run a camp that is not in this guide, please send us all pertinent information and we will do our best to keep this updated.
