As we look ahead to our 25th camping season, I take a moment to reflect on
the countless lives that we have positively influenced over the years, some
of whom have joined us once again as staff members, while some of our
core staff have been with us every year since the beginning.
This past summer, we actually held camp at a completely different place,
Camp Farnsworth in Thetford, VT. We have been fortunate enough to forge
a special partnership with the Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains, who have welcomed us with open arms and we are extremely grateful
for all their help and support. Our Staff did a fantastic job adjusting to the
new surroundings and providing another great week of summer camp
memories for our campers.
Our program would not be possible without the support of our generous
donors and the tireless efforts of our volunteers who make it all possible.
Together, we are helping to provide consistency in an uncertain world for
many of our campers and look forward to your continued support in the
future.
On behalf of our Staff, Board of Directors and the Campers we serve, thank
you for all you do in making CAMP! such a magical place for our kids.
Mission Statement
Camp Exclamation Point provides continuity and community to
underserved, rural Vermont kids
through a week-long residential summer camp.
Camp! History
Camp Exclamation Point, Inc. (CAMP!) is a Vermont-based non-profit
organization that gives over 110 children from rural Vermont communities
a week-long residential summer camp experience. Many of our campers’
families are involved with the agriculture, dairy or logging industries within
the state and often relocate to follow seasonal work.
CAMP! was founded in 1991, when the Vermont Migrant Education
Program discontinued the original camp. Several staff members were
committed however, in providing continuity for the children with whom
they had been working with and created CAMP! as a way to meet that need.
Staff recognized that the summer experience made an important difference
in these children’s lives and provided them with opportunities otherwise
inaccessible to them and their families. In addition, we also offer older
campers a Teen Leadership Program (TLP), providing the opportunity to
develop teamwork and leadership skills, while building confidence and
self-esteem.
Thank You for Your Generous Support
