Ohana Family Camp

On an idyllic stretch of Vermont's countryside lies a haven known as Ohana Family Camp. Run by The Aloha Foundation, popular for its acumen in offering enriching summer experiences, Ohana is a unique gem in its crown of five remarkable camps. Deeply influenced by the founders’ epoch spent teaching and adventuring in Hawaii in the 19th century, the camp draws on the spirit of 'ohana', a Hawaiian term symbolising a tightly knit community or as locals say, a circle of good friends. It's not simply a camp, but an opportunity to become a part of a familial community. Ohana Family Camp is all about making connections -- connections with family, friends, and, most crucially, nature. Offering a vibrant mix of traditional activities such as swimming, canoeing, and environmental immersion, it not only immerses the campers in the classic camp culture but also instills in them a deep sense of reverence for nature's bounty. The backdrop of the camp itself reflects an earnest simplicity and tranquility that invite families to take a pause from the rigors of routine life. It's about living comfortably in rhythm with the natural world around you, celebrating ties anew, and even forging new bonds over shared enjoyment of living with nature. So, if you are someone who believes in creating cherished summer memories, living simply yet adventively, and infusing your family holiday with a sense of camaraderie and natural wonder, the Ohana Family Camp is worth diving into. While it attests their belief that joy lies in the simplest of things, it also brims with the promise of turning families into circles of good friends.
