+1. Happiest place on Earth.

Another vote for Twin Creeks. They have a great one week dream session for that age group.

Camp Farwell in Vermont.

This is great for a play-in-the-mud kid.
Lots of activities, pond swimming, art, song, but mostly just being in, and learning about, nature while having fun with the kids around. Rarely over 30 kids at the camp each session. High staff:camper ratio.
There’s a 1 week session for her age group.

+1. Great camp.

Sandy hill

What did google say?

My son started at Camp Twin Creeks as a rising 3rd grader. He’ll be a rising 9th this summer and still loves TC! My nephew went as a rising 4th last summer and my niece will start as a rising 2nd this summer. Iain and Amy McClements are the directors and are just phenomenal people. It really is a special place and offers so many traditional camp offerings and is very inclusive. It’s also completely screen/device-free. Check out their website and schedule a call with Iain is you want more info. They make frequent visits to DC to meet interested families.

Only if you are ok buying a sh*t ton of gear. Way, WAY more than a standard sleepaway camp packing list with a uniform

‘Outdoor activities’ need gear. If your idea of outdoor activities is swimming in a pond then yeah, typical camp stuff. If you want hiking, then yeah, you’re gonna need boots, sleeping bag and a wet bag.

It’s a lot of stuff:

Vega isn’t 2 weeks (former camper here)— but you can do a number of the camps for 3 or 4 weeks, meaning half of the normal session.

Might be worth it if you feel comfortable doing 7 weeks in the future, but Vega, Mataponi, Tapowingo, Matoka etc are all 7 weeks for the full summer.
