Kids' Summer Day Camps in Vermont

Vermont has many summer day camps for kids that take advantage of the New England state's rivers, lakes and more than 200 mountains. While day camps typically run between one and two weeks, most offer multiple sessions throughout the summer. Although some camps feature themed activities, such as drama or music camps, many include outdoor activities, such as hiking, swimming and sports as well as arts and crafts. Day camp fees range from $150 to $800 depending on the duration and activities. Children may have to provide their own lunch while attending day camp.
