[quote=Anonymous]Hi Op, i'm sorry this thread has gone off track a little. I highly recommend Farm and Wilderness camps in Plymouth Vermont. It is an incredibly well run organization in my experience, the counselors are trained exceptionally (they receive more days of training than any camp I've heard of before), they are truly committed to NOT being a camp that is just for rich white kids who have always gone to camp - it is a warm and welcoming place that is more diverse than most camps in the NE. There are multiple options for overnight camp so you can pick one that is a good fit for your child. They are incredibly intentional and thoughtful. Anyway I can't really say enough good things. My son started in the day camp (we would stay nearby for those couple weeks) and now loves Timberlake. Younger son is doing day camp and then will go.

The overnight camps are 3 weeks which I feel is the perfect amount of time. Not too long but long enough to settle in and really build community and benefit.

Here is the website: https://www.farmandwilderness.org/
If you want to learn more about how it all runs and hear from the leadership, the podcast gives a great sense in my opinion: https://farmandwilderness.podbean.com/

If your child is a girl age 9-14, Firefly song is a good place to start: https://www.farmandwilderness.org/camps/fs
There is a podcast episode on Firefly song that is really helpful to get a sense.

If a boy, Timberlake: https://www.farmandwilderness.org/camps/timberlake
Also a podcast episode on this that is helpful

If you prefer mixed gender they offer starting at 11 a really unique camp that combines more art/theater and wilderness: https://www.farmandwilderness.org/camps/saltash-mountain
Same with podcast episode

Hope this helps![/quote]
