Camp Killooleet, a summer camp for children ages 9-14, is nestled into a beautiful corner of the Green Mountain National Forest. For over 90 years it has been owned and run by educators who know and listen to children.
...read more
Killooleet is a "traditional camp" (varied activities, full season, hikes, and overnight trips) that goes its own way. We are non-competitive and highly individual. Camper choice is central to our programming: the schedule is flexible with free time and choice periods build into the daily plan. Strong cabin groups are built through working and playing together. With about 90 campers, Killooleet is small enough so everyone comes to know each other and friendships develop between campers of different ages who share interests. Half of our activities are in sports (waterfront, archery, softball, soccer, basketball, tennis, horseback riding, ultimate frisbee, etc.) and half in arts (music, art, ceramics, silverwork, drama, video, woodworking, stained glass, fabric). Most campers bring bikes or rent them. We explore the beauty of Vermont during weekly hikes or overnight trips, on foot, bicycle, canoe, and horseback. We strive to be a community that encourages individual development, welcomes everyone, and minimizes the need to spend energy defending ourselves.

Many of our campers arrive on the Ranch never having mounted a horse or strapped on a backpack for a multi-day trip into the wilderness. By the end of their first summer at TVRC, each camper has gone on 2 backcountry trips, ridden horses in rodeos, tried their hand at many of the in-camp activities, and made friends and memories that will last a lifetime. The traditional program builds on itself, and each summer the campers receive more responsibility and new challenges to conquer.
All of these programs are based in the picturesque wilderness surrounding Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Through active participation in western mountain adventures, every camper develops a strong sense of self, the ability to navigate challenging situations, and what it means to have the strength to lead and faith to follow.
