Overview
Welcome to the captivating world of Camp Sangamon — a summertime paradise sculpted for boys aged 9-16 in the idyllic setting of central Vermont. Embraced by the serene beauty of a tranquil lake and rolling hills, the camp lies stone's throw from the bustling buzz of Rutland and next door to the alluring charms of Killington.
Prepare to immerse your senses in a camp experience like no other. At Camp Sangamon, our mottos are spontaneity, self-reliance, and skirts-optional joy. That's right! Instead of dictating your schedule, we dish out the reins of your summer unto your own hands. The power to pick the activity that strikes your fancy is yours exclusively.
Whether you are intrigued by individual sports or captivated by crafts, this place has an impressive repertoire of 15 activities to delve into. Fancy yourself an archer? Intrigued by horse riding or canoeing? Or perhaps you are drawn to more terrestrial pleasures like tennis and mountain biking? We've got you!
For those with an artistic streak, unveiling your creativity in our workshops, from rocketry to pottery, from weaving to silk-screening, is encouraged and applauded. Our "pioneer" farm is ever-ready to greet budding farmers. Here, life thrives from tip to tail — from milk cows, chickens, pigs, ducks, rabbits down to adorable kittens.
Simply relish the eco-centric joys, like hiking, wilderness swimming, sailing or cave exploration – it's a part of that thrill-filled package. Sangamon's secret recipe lies in combining the allure of green open spaces, adventurous pursuits, and enticing creativity-led activities, making it not just a camp, but a summer experience to remember.
