Description: Vermont Adventure Camps, run by Extreme Adventures of Vermont is Vermont's Premiere Summer Camp Experience. VAC is dedicated to helping teens enjoy, respect and create a sense of harmony with nature, while challenging their mind and body.

We offer 8 five day adventure camps for teens 12 to 14, and 4 twelve day adventure camps for teens 15 to 18. These camps are sleep over camps. You will go on an adventure each day and then come back to our quaint camping area where each night will be spent in a cozy lean-to.

Each camp session is a little different but there is always a 5 to 1 camper counselor ratio. The age range for the camps are posted on each camp description the ages of the camps run from 12 and up. You will have breakfast every morning at the camp site and then we will leave for our daily adventure. Trail lunches are provided for you each day while on our adventure. Return to the camp site each night where everyone helps prepare dinner. You do not need experience, but rather the enthusiasm and willingness to try new things and meet new people.
