Summer Mountain Adventure Camp
Summer Mountain Adventure Camp is open Monday - Saturday every week!
We offer a fun and active camp for kids ages 3-12 at Stowe Mountain Resort. We learn to play golf, we play tennis, we rock climb, we tie dye and do all sorts of crafty things, we explore streams & rivers, we hike, we play games...most of all, we have tons of fun!
Enjoy the flexibility of a Children’s Summer Adventure Camp pass. Accompanied by our seasoned Camp Leaders, Heather Jarochym, Jimmy Doykos, Nate Gardner and Mark Aiken, children will explore nature at its best…from hikes up Mt. Mansfield and Spruce Peak; to “extreme streaming”; to testing their skill on our low ropes course, campers are sure to be challenged. Campers will learn golf skills & drills and join friends in a game of disc golf, soccer or volleyball.
Campers will also spend a day on the attractions (bungee trampoline, climbing wall, alpine slide and more) at Spruce Peak. Yes parents…we take the kids to the attractions so you don’t have to. There will be arts & crafts, swimming and hanging out at base camp with new friends.
Everyday is an adventure full of fun and learning at Stowe Mountain Resort’s Summer Camp Adventure Program, where children have the experience of a lifetime. Check out our Camp in Action.

We will return to camp for lunch then on to search the trails, streams, and wooded spaces surrounding the Cross Country Center for the perfect place to build our own Camp Club House.
Tie Dye & Tree Time Tuesdays: It’s time to splash some summer color on your camp T-Shirt. You get to be the creator of your very own wearable masterpiece as we share with you the basics of tie-dying (bring along your white camp T-shirt or something to spruce up from home). While the colors are soaking in, it will be lunch and off to the trees for an afternoon climbing around on our newly constructed forest features and low ropes. We will scale, stretch, scramble, and swing so bring your sneakers and your spirit!

Munch on a picnic lunch before finishing the day with field games and arts & crafts back at Camp.
