the schedule is flexible with free time and choice periods build into each day. 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 (swimming, boating, 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 create an inclusive community that encourages individual development, welcomes everyone, and minimizes the need to spend energy defending ourselves.
