This is your central resource for our latest communications regarding Farm & Wilderness operations, policies and guidelines for COVID-19 safety and prevention for families, campers, and staff. For reference, our 2021 Family Guide to Health & Safety is available for review.
We feel incredibly fortunate to be in Vermont, where the state has taken a proactive approach to managing the pandemic. All of us at Farm & Wilderness are dedicated to ensuring that this summer is healthy, safe, and magical for all of our campers—and staff! It’s a team effort drawing on the experience and wisdom of our camp Directors, Re-opening Task Force, medical and public health experts, and our Board of Trustees; and the guidance of the American Camp Association and Vermont Camp Association.
Our policies will evolve so we encourage you to check back here and read our emails over the coming months to ensure you have the most up-to-date information.
Please let us know if there is additional information you would like to see on our website related to our COVID-19-related camp plans by calling 802-422-3761 or emailing us admissions@farmandwilderness.org.
Our past summer Health and Safety Plan is available with important information for all Farm & Wilderness overnight and day camp programs:

Reminder: COVID-19 safety guidance for summer camps is changing rapidly and we are continuing to update the plan as needed. Please keep checking back for updated versions before your arrival to camp.
If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our admissions department directly by calling 802-422-3761, email at admissions@farmandwilderness.org or use our website live chat feature M-F between 8:30AM – 3:30 PM.
NOTE: Our summer camps must follow specialized guidance for “Operating Youth and Summer Camps” and “Childcare and Out-of-School Programs” in accordance with several sets of recommendations from several organizations such as the State of Vermont, CDC, American Camp Association. Because we are living in a congregate setting and caring for other peoples’ children, please take into consideration that some of the recent state and national guidance for individuals and households may not be the same guidance for summer camp organizations (ex. masking, social distancing, etc).
