Overnight and Camping Trips:

Combine a day's worth of activity with an overnight to make for an rewarding trip.

Seasonal Trips:

Our seasonal camping programs are unique to any other experience you may have had before. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter offer many exciting and different challenges unique to Vermont. Since each group requires a slightly different experience, location, and time line, we individually work with you and your group to customize a trip to fit your needs and expectations. Boy scouts, Girl Scouts, church youth groups, family, and friends are all groups that we frequently guide winter camping trips for. We guide trips in two area, Central Vermont, and Smuggler's Notch. Please give us a call, or Contact Us to set up a program.

Central Vermont:

Only 10 minutes from Killington, just outside of Rutland we have many areas that are ideal for camping trips. The Long Trail runs directly through our area; it provides us with excellent hiking and camping opportunities. Our local area trips range from simple hikes to the "base camp", to long multi-day destination trips.

Learn how to make a snow cave and bivy overnight comfortably!

Experience the Vermont Wilderness during excellent conditions!

Smuggler's Notch:

"The Notch" is a great place for more advanced winter/spring camping and introduction to alpine mountaineering/camping. Smuggler's Notch sits just below the famous "Adam's Apple" of Mount Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak (4393'). It is a remote alpine area with deep snow, frequent storms, and cold temps. For anyone looking for challenging terrain and an alpine environment, this is the place for you.
