At Killooleet, every aspect of camp is intentional. We begin the summer building strong cabin groups and friendships. This base supports children as they explore their individual interests. After trying all of the activities and going on a camping trip with their cabin group, our campers learn to plan their daily schedules, allowing them to specialize in their favorite activities while still enjoying a well-rounded variety of arts and sports activities.  During the second full week of camp, campers begin establishing friendships outside of the cabin through shared activities and hikes. Campers also begin to utilize our unique combination of structured and unstructured time, allowing them to craft their ideal summer.   The combination of “recall” and “choice” periods allows campers the opportunity both to set goals and work toward achieving them, and to respond spontaneously to the needs of each day.  Weekly hikes and two overnight trips ensure campers experience Vermont’s natural beauty firsthand. 

Through this time-tested program, Killooleet becomes a camper’s ‘second family’ and they bring their confidence and accomplishments home at the end of the season.
