A Vermont camp for boys - featuring land sports and water sports in a lovely New England setting.

Founded in 1903 as one of New England's first camps for boys, Camp Wachusett offers both land sports and water sports and provides a rich and varied program in a gorgeous area of Vermont.  It generates a spirit of fun, excitement, and adventure as it strives to realize its broader purpose of personal and social growth for each camper.  It promotes a boy's sense of independence and self-confidence as well as his sense of himself as part of a group.  It recognizes that an environment that is relatively small maximizes the opportunity to "care" for each boy in a special way and to devote the time and energy to his welfare that he deserves.

Camp Wachusett occupies 40 acres along the shores of Lake Hortonia in the town of Hubbardton, Vermont.  Hubbardton lies about an hour south of Burlington and two hours northeast of Albany, with the Green Mountains just to the east and Lake Champlain a short distance to the west.  Lake Hortonia, with approximately 450 acres, is a lake that is both clean and quiet.  The camp's property includes about 900 feet of lakefront and accommodates an enrollment of seventy-five boys, ages 8 to 14.

The camp's waterfront consists of a large swimming beach, a main pier, and two rafts -- one with a sliding board and another for water-skiing.  The camp owns a 240 horsepower ski-boat, five rowboats, six sailboats, sixteen canoes, and seven kayaks.  Additional facilities include two playing fields, two full basketball courts, four tennis courts, an archery range, a rifle range, a Council Circle, and a large surfaced area for rainy day activities, roller-blading, and street hockey.
