This year’s summer camps are all about joy, curiosity and belonging: the joy of participating in the performing arts with friends new and old, the curiosity sparked when we try new things and visit new places, and the sense of belonging we build together while we dance, sing, act, make music videos and more — all building towards end-of-camp showcases, where we welcome our friends and families to celebrate our artistic, creative accomplishments.

We have a lot of fun and exciting mountain bike activities to focus on this summer, but we are always adapting to our changing society, too. From a community perspective, we will pay more attention to camper respect — camper to camper, girl to boy, boy to girl, counselor to camper, camper to counselor, etc. Last summer, we added in some focus on trail protection and maintenance, and we will spend some more time in that area this summer. -TAG CARPENTER, OPERATIONS MANAGER, CATAMOUNT OUTDOOR FAMILY CENTER, WILLISTON

I hope our campers learn how to be themselves and explore new interests. -CHRISSY CARTER, OWNER/ DIRECTOR, CAMP BIRCH HILL, NEW DURHAM, NEW HAMPSHIRE

Of course, we would love campers to come away with an increased level of skill in gymnastics, water sports, archery, cooking, art, dance, woodworking, or whatever their focus and choice of activities will be. However, our first target is for all campers to be immersed in gaining confidence in themselves as independent young women and men, learning to be kind, to be brave, to care about others as well as themselves, learning about being a good friend and making camp friends, increasing leadership skills, and learning and caring about our environment and camping. -RUTH DUNKLEY MCGOWAN, OWNER/DIRECTOR, DUNKLEY’S GYMNASTICS CAMP, SOUTH HERO

Not only do we aim to provide children with memorymaking, friendshipgrowing and learningand-doing experiences but, overall, we hope our campers learn to love being Parks & Rec kids! -DIANA WOOD, MARKETING AND OUTREACH MANAGER, BURLINGTON PARKS, RECREATION & WATERFRONT, BURLINGTON

We hope that campers will learn the humane treatment of all types of animals and have a better understanding of the shelter world. -ERIN ALAMED, DIRECTOR OF VOLUNTEER AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH, CAMP PAW PAW (HUMANE SOCIETY OF CHITTENDEN COUNTY), SOUTH BURLINGTON

We wish for our campers to learn, through farm chores, guilds and games, the beauty and joy of participating in the living world around us. We hope to illuminate the connections between land, plants, animals and people that nurture and sustain healthy communities, through the magic and fun of summer on the farm. -ETHAN TISCHLER, DIRECTOR, CAMP BREAD & BUTTER (BREAD & BUTTER FARM), SHELBURNE

Camp brings out the best in people. It is a place where kids and staff can let their guard down and truly be themselves! It’s a place where a cabin of 12 kids enters the week as strangers and leaves as best friends. Our goal is that somewhere between canoeing in the middle of Branch Lake, testing your limits at the ropes course and sitting and having good conversation in the arts and crafts cabin, every camper learns how to find acceptance, new experiences and friendships that last a lifetime.
