WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE
Vermont Adventure Camps?
We understand you have several options when choosing a safe outdoor adventure for your teen. Below are some of the many reasons Vermont Adventure Camps is the best choice.
OUTSTANDING VALUE
While our programs are not inexpensive, we work hard to provide outstanding value for your hard earned dollars. We take your investment seriously and provide the best instructors, great food, nice vans, and great specialty guides. Many people are amazed that a high quality program that limits enrollment, provides one of the lowest instructor to student ratios in the industry, and can be priced more reasonably than other quality programs. We can charge less because we manage office expenses wisely, spend far less on marketing due to our high student return rate, and operate educational programs all year long. We strive to give you the best possible return on your investment.
SAFETY FIRST
You will be entrusting us with your teens life at some points through out the week. We acknowledge this responsibility and make every decision in the field based on your trust. Safety is our primary goal and we are extremely proud of our outstanding safety record.
Extreme Adventures of Vermont and Vermont Adventure Camps are the only guide service/ camps in Southern Vermont that have the proper permits from the State of VT Department of Forests, Parks & Rec as well as the Green Mountain National Forests for recreational use of the lands.
PERSONAL ATTENTION
At Vermont Adventure Camps we enjoy getting to know every person. Our intentional small size allows us to give every person personal attention. Our office staff are experienced professionals who are also instructors during the summer. We will gladly answer any questions you may have. We will help you decide which trip is the best fit for your teen.
Our summer staff ratio of one instructor for every five teens allows every one to receive individual attention throughout the trip. Director & Owner, William Williams, try's to get to know each student as well as personally guiding some of the adventures.
OUTSTANDING STUDENTS
Typically Vermont Adventure Camp students actively choose our program, arrive eager to participate in activities, and take on challenges willingly. People have joined us from all over the U.S. and several countries around the world. We help ensure a successful experience by taking the time to match each student with the most appropriate adventure considering age and challenge level. When motivated students are teamed with excellent counselors and guides in a positive community, they make long-lasting friendships, learn valuable skills, and have the time of their lives.
INSTRUCTOR TO STUDENT RATIO
We maintain a 1:4 instructor to student ratio. This ratio becomes even lower for activities such as Whitewater rafting or rock climbing. We are proud that 60% of our instructors return every year. This ensures that the high quality of our programs remains consistent. With an average age of 23 years, our instructors bring plenty of real world experience, safety-conscious maturity, and a fun-loving attitude to each adventure.

No other program offers as many different activities on each trip. Vermont Adventure Camp is a great way for teens new to the outdoors to explore a wider variety of activities.
