In the tiny, enchanting state of Vermont, tucked away amidst the magnificent forests of maple trees and hilly landscapes, live a brigade of extraordinary kids known as the "Vermont Vittles Virtuosos," or V3 for short. Now, the V3 squad is not your usual group of kids; they are master chefs in tiny bodies, who can whisk an egg faster than a squirrel can climb a tree! Our story takes place in a vibrant city named Burlington, where the air is as sweet as the state's famous maple syrup, and the trees sway like the rhythm of a dance. Every day, you can hear the laughter of the children echoing through the green mountains as they gather in their magical kitchen, which is hidden away in a giant, friendly pumpkin named Percy. Percy, with his vibrant orange skin and goofy grin, is the V3's secret headquarters. Inside, it's a culinary wonderland filled with spatulas and saucepans, whisks and wooden spoons, and every kind of food you can imagine. From the freshest fruits for their pies to the most colorful vegetables for their rainbow salads, everything is at their tiny fingertips. The V3 squad, led by their captain, a hilarious, pancake-flipping bear named Benny the Butterbear, embark on wacky culinary adventures together. They giggle as Benny juggles eggs, gasp when he flips pancake towers, and cheer when he catches them all without breaking a single yolk! Cooking isn't just an activity for these kids; it's an adventure – a wild, taste-bud-tingling journey into the heart of Vermont's finest flavors. So, grab your apron and your sense of fun, and join the V3 as they cook up a storm in the land of maple syrup and mountains!

Nestled in 178 acres of lush woodland is a serene escape from the city, a place fondly known as Camp Swamp. This overnight Christian camp, located just two hours east of bustling Atlanta, has been serving as a peaceful retreat since 1992. We like to think of it as our own "little slice of heaven," offering a respite from the daily hustle and bustle, and inviting people to reconnect with nature and their spirituality. Our primary offering is a week-long summer camp, but we've expanded over the years to include more than just summer fun. As part of our mission to support families and churches, we now also host three family camps throughout the year, as well as four parent/child retreats. These events offer a chance for families to bond, parents to connect with their children, and individuals to grow in their faith. Moreover, our facilities are not exclusive to our organized events. Camp Swamp also offers rentals to schools, churches, universities, sports teams, and even business groups. Whether you're planning a camp, a retreat, or a team-building excursion, our serene setting and well-equipped facilities provide the ideal backdrop for an unforgettable experience.
Keewaydin Dunmore is a summer camp like no other, located on beautiful Lake Dunmore in the heart of the Green Mountains in Vermont. Boys ages 8-16 return year after year for the magic of a Keewaydin summer. Campers come from across the US and international locations, representing different religions, races, cultural backgrounds, and socio-economic backgrounds. Each boy is valued for who they are. The camp is divided into four “wigwams” (i.e. age groups): Annwi for 8-10-year-olds, Waramaug for 10-12-year-olds, Wiantinaug for 12-14-year-olds and Moosalamoo for 14-16 year olds. Each wigwam has its own living area and waterfront as shown on the illustrated map. Activities and trips are done primarily by wigwam, but the camp also comes together to eat and participate in activities and events. Established in 1910, Keewaydin Dunmore is one of the most established camps in the country and has long been at the forefront of the American camping movement. Its rich in-camp activity program and extensive trip program provide a summer camp experience that cannot be found anywhere else!
