Girls can redesign their activity schedules every two weeks choosing from beginner, intermediate and advanced level classes.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: We build a supportive community in which each is respected for his or her strengths, and the horseback rider, the basketball player, the singer and the painter are all appreciated. Killooleet is variously described as a traditional camp (long season, we offer activities including weekly hikes, take two overnight trips during the season), a non-competitive camp (certainly we care more about the joy of participation than that of winning) and “that little gem of a camp.”
The schedule provides balance: arts and sports, free time and scheduled activities, challenges and fun. It encourages children to discover their interests and pursue them avidly. Campers exercise choice in daily activities, chores, and projects, developing judgment and independence alongside the deep connections that grow from membership in a vibrant community.
We chose our counselors for their abilities to be good mentors and teachers of children. Many end up going into education and related fields. All counselors take Wilderness First Aid, waterfront counselors are lifeguards. We are licensed by the State of Vermont and accredited by the American Camp Association.
CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Killooleet's oldest campers develop a variety of leadership skills, are captains of sports teams and assistants in arts activities. They all work up to teaching activities in the last week of camp.

OTHER CAMP INFO: Killooleet has had thoughtful educational leadership for the past 90 years. Founded in 1927 by Toni Taylor and Margaret Bartlett, it was bought by Ellie and John Seeger in 1949 and they passed it along to their daughter Kate Seeger and her husband Dean Spencer in 1998.

Killooleet runs from June 29 through August 23, 2015. Most campers attend for the full summer. First time campers can commit to just the month of July.
