Spruce Peak Day Camp

This one-time non-refundable fee includes 2 camp t-shirts for your child.

You have the option to purchase lunch from the club or bring your own.

Registration is for Club Members, Guests of Members and Lodge Guests.

All campers must be at least 4 years old by the first day they attend camp. In addition, campers must be potty-trained and able to handle a full day program.

Each day of camp will be a new and exciting experience for our campers as no two days with KE Camps are exactly alike!  Our days begin with Hello Camp, a morning meeting of sorts where, through an assortment of organized activities, campers and staff get to know each other, review the day’s schedule and sing our special camp song! Similarly, we will end our days with Goodbye Camp, a time for wrap-up activities and reflections, SMILE Bands, snacks, and “see you later’s”.   The bulk of camp will be spent participating in a wide variety of activities throughout the day that may include:

You have the option to purchase a kid-friendly lunch provided by the club for $50 per week. If you would like to purchase this option, you may do so during online enrollment. Otherwise, you are welcome to pack a lunch for your child.

A snack will be served each afternoon to all campers. We encourage you to pack some extra snacks for your child as well.

Please note that we are a “nut aware” camp.   We ask that you do not pack any food for your child that contains nuts.   Likewise, the lunches and snacks served by the club will not contain any nuts.   If your child has a food allergy and you have questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact us.

KE Camps requires all campers to wear our official camp shirt each day of the week. Additional shirts may be purchased at camp. Campers should dress in comfortable clothing and tennis shoes. Camp is a place to un-plug! Please leave all electronic devices and cell phones at home. Please pack the following items in a labeled bag or backpack:

Registration for Summer 2022 will open on February 25th and will continue until we are full. You must be enrolled in advance, however, in order to attend camp. 

Full payment is due upon registration. This includes a one-time non-refundable registration fee of $42 which includes 2 camp t-shirts. We accept ACH Payments and American Express, MasterCard, Visa and Discover.  We encourage all families to pay via ACH as all credit card transactions will be subject to a 2.5% surcharge to offset the cost of credit card processing.

If your child has special needs or will require extra assistance while at camp, please contact us before you enroll to discuss!

All requests for cancellations or changes must be made in writing to our office via email at info@kecamps.com. Cancellations made by June 19, 2022 will be refunded in full (less the registration fee).   After that, there are no refunds. We will, however, always offer a credit towards a future week (if space is available) or for next summer.

Don’t forget to take a look at the important camp forms below.

Dear Camp Families, 

My name is Carla, and I will be your camp director at The Club at Spruce Peak this summer. I am super excited to meet you! I am a licensed teacher with a long background working with children of all ages. As a teenager, I worked as a camp counselor (with specialties in outdoor living skills, theater, canoe, and swim). More recently, I have worked in summer school programs with the Caledonia North School District and the Laraway School in Johnson. I love to come up with fun, engaging activities, which make each day a special surprise for campers. 

While I teach math skills sometimes, my true background is in literacy — I have an MFA in writing! I also work for Montpelier’s community newspaper, The Bridge. I often mentor young writers beginning with kindergarten and all the through high school. 

I love working with kids because they are so fun to be among, and to teach. Kids are inquisitive, inventive, funny, creative and generally a vibrant part of any community. 

I can't wait to see you soon!  

Carla Occaso
