Girls enjoy learning a variety of outdoor skills in
the Campcraft program.  They learn to build a
safe outdoor fire and to cook a healthy meal over
an open flame-often with ingredients from our
own camp garden!

They are taught life-long knot tying skills, which
is put to the test by building shelters and
cooking tripods.

They learn about outdoor safety and leadership
techniques both in camp and on out-of-camp
explorations along the nearby Long Trail and
Appalachian Trail systems.
Hike Day is a camp tradition that
allows campers and staff to
adventure off-camp into the
Vermont countryside each week.  
Girls explore mountains, woods,
swimming holes,  lakes, and trails.

Everyone goes on Hike Days and
each girl is guaranteed a great time!
Hiking, swimming, rockclimbing, camping, biking, caving, boating & cooking.
You
choose what you want to do.
The development of outdoor self-confidence & skills for each camper is a primary focus of the
Betsey Cox program.
We have a great adventure course!  
Betsey Cox offers experiences on our
low ropes course designed to
encourage self-confidence,
teamwork, and challenge-by-choice.

We have an 8 foot high bouldering
"castle" and indoor/outdoor
climbing walls to further challenge
camper climbing skills.

Girls who are 12 years old and up,
are offered opportunities to go
rockclimbing in the surrounding
Green Mountains with a local
climbing company and our own
certified and trained staff.
