Is Camp for Me?

Camp is for everyone

Camp Abnaki is a great place for boys to enjoy all that our beautiful Vermont summers have to offer. Campers learn new skills through activities on the waterfront or throughout campus, make new friends, take a break from technology, and meet some incredible role models. Camp is the best place in the world to be yourself — and you’ll always find other campers or staff that you can identify with! 

For boys in grades K-4: Day Camp is a great way to experience the best parts of camp, but also spend time with your family and friends at home.

For boys in grade 1-10: Overnight Camp is the perfect place for two weeks away from home, exploring a bit of safely-monitored independence. We also offer a one week overnight camp for boys in grades 1-5. See below for the Top 5 Benefits of Overnight Camp for parents!

Our CIT programs provide the skills needed to become great camp counselors and tomorrow’s leaders.

New Teen Programs focus on specific areas of interest — from sailing, to D + D, to wilderness adventure!

Top Benefits of Two-Week Overnight Camp

Parents often ask us, what’s magical about two weeks away from home? We believe a two-week session unlocks the full potential of your camper and the camp experience!

Stronger Friendships & Cabin Cohesion
More time together means deeper connections, stronger bonds, and a true sense of belonging, all rooted in our camp motto, “Help the Other Fellow.”

More Confidence, More Growth
Two weeks allow campers to fully embrace camp life, take on challenges, and gain independence in a nurturing environment led by staff who foster love, safety, and respect.

Unforgettable Weekend Traditions
Special weekend programs bring extra adventure, teamwork, and camp traditions that one-week campers miss out on.

The Ultimate Tech-Free Adventure
Two weeks on the lake, in nature, and away from screens create lasting memories and personal growth that extend far beyond summer.

Camp has been the single most influential thing in my life. My 6 years as a camper shaped me into the person I am today. I truly believe that any boy who spends a week or two at Camp Abnaki will be a better person than they were before. More importantly though they will forge unforgettable memories and life time friendships. If I could change one thing about my childhood it would be to have spent more time at camp.
