The Killington region of central Vermont is home to an incredible variety of summer camps — from hands-on farm experiences and arts programs to competitive swim teams and mountain bike clinics.

Here's your guide to the best summer camps near Killington — and how to make it the most productive (and fun) summer your family has ever had.
Killington Parks & Recreation Day Camp
Right in town, the Killington Parks & Recreation Department runs two fantastic summer day camps: Loads of Fun (grades 1–3) and Green Mountain Explorers (grades 4–6). Campers enjoy crafts, games, art, yoga, swimming, field trips, and outdoor adventures — all week long, Monday through Friday.
The department also offers swim lessons at the Johnson Recreation Center Pool, perfect for younger kids building water confidence.
🦈 Killington Sharks Swim Team
For strong swimmers ages 5–18, the Killington Sharks competitive swim team practices four days a week (Mon–Thu) and competes in meets throughout the summer. It's a great way for kids to stay active, build discipline, and make friends — all summer long.
Billings Farm & Museum — Junior Farmer Camp
Billings Farm & Museum offers the beloved Junior Farmer Camp where kids step into a farmer's shoes for a week. They'll meet calves, sheep, and goats, learn about sustainable agriculture, explore the historic farm, and get their hands dirty in the best way possible. The Billings Bookworms Camp (ages 6–8) is a half-day option combining stories with farm activities.
Set on 400 acres in picture-perfect Woodstock, this is a quintessential Vermont experience your kids will talk about for years.
Farm & Wilderness
Farm & Wilderness is a legendary system of five ACA-accredited summer camps nestled in the hills of Plymouth — just 20 minutes from Killington. Rooted in social justice, environmental sustainability, and community, F&W offers everything from organic farming and carpentry to hiking, canoeing, rock climbing, and wilderness expeditions.
Once named one of the best camps in the nation by the Today Show, Farm & Wilderness is the kind of transformative experience that shapes who kids become. Sessions run throughout the summer with options for different ages and interests.
Killington Youth Bike Park Camps
Killington's Youth Bike Camps turn first-time riders into confident trail-blazers on one of the East Coast's premier mountain bike parks. Led by professional coaches, camps are available in 3- and 5-day sessions all summer long. From first pedals to fearless downhill runs, kids build skills, confidence, and memories. Based out of Snowshed Lodge — literally a 5-minute drive from Slope Space.
Camp Killooleet
Camp Killooleet is a beloved sleepaway camp nestled in the Green Mountain National Forest. For almost 100 years, Killooleet has fostered a screen-free, non-competitive community where kids explore the arts, nature, and who they are. Run by educators who truly listen to children, it's the kind of old-school camp magic that's increasingly rare — and incredibly valuable.
VINS Nature Camp
The Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) runs outstanding nature day camps where kids hike through the woods, examine insects under magnifying glasses, encounter live raptors, and learn the science of the natural world through hands-on exploration. Weekly themed sessions run all summer at their stunning Quechee campus near the famous gorge.
Artistree Community Arts Center Summer Camps
Artistree is a nonprofit community arts center offering week-long summer camps in visual arts, movement, theatre, and music. Morning and afternoon sessions can be combined for a full day. If your kid is the creative type who'd rather paint than paddle, this is their spot.
