Everyone at the Farmhouse Center is thinking of our past campers and all of the families of Vermont during this challenging and unknown time of Covid-19. This is emotional and tough for all but we as a community are resilient and will come back stronger than ever and when that time comes, The Farmhouse Center, Miss Joan, our staff, the golden retrievers and of course our horses, will all be ready to welcome kids back for a fun, safe and healthy summer.

We will continue to share updates on this page on summer camp registration but as of now we plan to start camp sessions on June 15, unless otherwise directed by our Governor.

Stay safe, stay healthy, stay positive!

Farmhouse Center

The Farmhouse Center’s stables are home to approximately 19 horses, 10 of which were adopted through the Premarin PMU (Pregnant Mare’s Urine) Rescue. The 9 miniature rescue horses are adorable and happy to be in their new home! All the horses are employed in providing therapy and experiential learning to our campers. The Camp is offered all summer and is a great time for kids, tons of planting seeds, swimming, games and being outside with the horses. Lots of great cook-off challenges too!

Horses have a natural healing power that has been proven effective in physical, mental, and emotional therapy. The camp counselors at the Farmhouse Center often see marked changes in our kids just from them spending some simple, quiet time alone with a horse, the cats and the golden retrievers. The horses continually provide ample opportunity for campers to learn multiple levels of communication through touch, body language, and vocal tone in a safe environment.

A parent of one of the campers made the comment “when I drive my daughter to camp she transitions to the young girl I knew. Becoming a teenager with two younger sisters has been emotionally challenging for her. The Farmhouse Center’s environment has given my daughter such happiness and tranquility. There is something very special about The Farmhouse Center. I am amazed at the growth and personal gains she has made in one summer.”

Main camp activities include horses, gardening, non-competitive sports, culinary activities, crafts and art. Primarily, just having fun! We guarantee that they will sleep well each night and be ready to come back to camp for more good times! We are not a fancy camp, just down home where everyone is welcomed and loved
