Summer Camps at AllTogetherNow!
For over 25 years we have been offering summer camps to the children of Central Vermont. At AllTogetherNow! Summer Camps we know how to have fun! Days are spent outside, telling stories, swimming in the pool, making art, stilt walking, singing, playing cooperative games, and making new friends. Lead teachers are joined by teen councilors.
Summer camps are held Monday through Friday, 9am - 3pm. Before and aftercare is available starting at 8am and ending at 4:30pm. We spend our days outside, engaged in games, projects, and fun. We have several indoor spaces for rainy days. We have a saltwater in-ground swimming pool with both a shallow and deep end. A licensed lifeguard is on-duty during swim time.
Full and partial scholarships are available to families who otherwise could not afford to pay for summer camp. Scroll down for more info.
Our teachers are a part of the fabric of our community. They are educators, herbalists, artists, and activists. All are part of our rich lineage of passionate educators dedicated to creating a peaceful, sustainable world and living in harmony with the earth. Many of the youth began here as preschoolers and families participating in our seasonal celebrations. They graduate into our summer camp program first as campers and then as teen counselors. Some return as teachers and parents.
