Our day camps invite children to explore the world around them, get in touch with all of their senses, and connect to the plants and animals that call the Green Mountains home. There are moments of magic every day at camp, whether around the bonfire, on a hike to Lookout Rock, or scooping for critters at the pond.
Audubon's staff of experienced naturalists and educators is dedicated to providing a fun and educational experience for all campers. We want to inspire your child to connect more deeply with the natural world, build on their talents, and expand their ecological knowledge. While attending our day camps in Huntington, Vermont, they are bound to experience the thrill of hands-on exploration while enjoying the beautiful scenery that only the Green Mountains can offer!
Governor Scott has declared that Summer Matters and we could not agree more! You might have found our program through the state's Summer Matters Program Map. If you are interested in attending our programs but are facing a financial hardship, please fill out a scholarship application. We welcome scholarship requests in any amount that will help make camp more affordable for you.
We will continue using a registration lottery for summer day camps again in 2025. We feel an incredible amount of support from our community and are honored that our camps have grown in popularity. We have done our best to make increases where we can, including hiring more summer staff and strengthening our Counselor-in-Training program. However, we have maxed out our space, and remain committed to low camper: instructor ratios for our outdoor programs. We are committed to improving access to our programs and a situation where the fastest internet gets the space is not where we want to be. We also want to turn down the stress and urgency where we can, so here is what you can expect this year:
Camp registration is determined by a lottery. Families will apply to the camps in which they are interested.
You will have between February 14th- February 23rd at 11:59pm to sign up for camps. At this point, you will be put on the camp's waitlist. You can sign up any time during this window. You will sign up for each camp in which you are interested, for each camper.
You can apply for scholarship funding once your camper has been taken off of the camp's waitlist.
Campers will be selected for no more than 2 camps.
We will do our best to take siblings into consideration, but we cannot guarantee that siblings will get into the same camp or week (which was true with our old system as well).
Families will be notified of their acceptance into camp on March 7th and will have two weeks (until midnight March 23rd) to secure their camp spot by paying either the deposit (30% tuition) or paying in full. Unclaimed spaces go to families on the waitlist.
This year there is no application/accepted- we are trying something new. We will have 1 waitlist per camp that you will sign up for during the initial 2 week period. Those who do not get a spot in the inital lottery will stay on the wailist. If you missed the initial lottery window, you can still add your campers to our waitlists.
We are accepting lottery entries 2/14-2/23. Here's everything you need to know to sign up for summer camp.
Safe participation in Audubon programs requires certain physical, mental, emotional, and social health abilities. Please review to determine if we are a good fit for your participation.
This information was also shared to all accounts in CampDoc on March 7.
