Summer Camps at AllTogetherNow!

At AllTogetherNow! Summer Camps we know how to have fun! Days are spent outside, telling stories, swimming in the pool, making art, stilt walking, singing, playing cooperative games, and making new friends. Lead teachers are joined by teen councilors.

For over 25 years we have been offering summer camps to the children of Central Vermont. Many of the youth begin here as preschoolers and families participating in our seasonal celebrations. They graduate into our summer camp program first as campers and then as teen counselors. Some return as teachers and parents.

Our teachers are a part of the fabric of our community. They are educators, herbalists, artists, and activists. All are part of our rich lineage of passionate educators dedicated to creating a peaceful, sustainable world and living in harmony with the earth.

Below are details for big kid camps, ages 6 to 12. Preschool camp (ages 3-6) is no longer happening at ATN.

Support our BIPOC & Multi-Lingual Camp. In addition to our regular camp schedule listed above, AlltogetherNow! hosts a one week free summer camp for middle and high school BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, & People of Color) and multi-lingual youth, organized by Planting Hope in partnership with local BIPOC educators. Healthy outdoor activities include swimming, sports, arts, and nature activities. The camp also provides an affinity space where kids develop a sense of belonging and build connections with each other. Teen counselors provide positive role models for students of a variety of backgrounds. Donations contributed to this fund go specifically towards funding this one-week camp. The registration process for this camp is separate from the online registration form for our other camps. If interested, please contact us here for more information. Our aim is to fully fund the camp fees for all campers who attend this camp. You may donate to support the BIPOC and Multi-Lingual camp at the button below.
