Camp Sangamon is an overnight camp for boys and non-binary children roughly ages 8-16 beside a lake in the hills of Pittsford, in central Vermont. Campers direct their own days, choosing from over twenty daily activities spanning individual and team sports, studio crafts, and off-site trips, within a small community of about 90 campers. Sessions run two or three weeks.

★★★★★Silas EllmanThe best six of my life. Camp Sangamon played a major role and helped me become the person that I am today. My time at camp was directly responsible for becoming independent at a young age as well as my success as an adult. My son now goes to Sangamon all the way from CA and he feels the same I do. If you are looking for an amazing experience for your son this is it!
★★★★★Samantha StoneBoth my boys went to Camp Sangamon (and my daughter went to the sister camp, Betsey Cox). Every year, they'd start counting the days, starting right after camp ended, until they could return to camp. An essential part of their childhood; helped shape the incredible humans they are today. I recommend Sangamon to everyone with camp-age boys.
★★★★★Bodhi GarrettCamp Sangamon has been everything we could hope for in a summer camp and so much more. Thank you to the whole team for memories that will last a lifetime! The welcoming staff and friendly counselors made our son comfortable from the first day, and gave him the support to explore and make friends. Among the many activities, his favorites were the wood shop and the weavery, learning how to make Thai noodles, and swimming in the pond. He loved all of the special events, especially the fair, and he will always remember playing with the adorable kittens at the farm. Sangamon is simply amazing, for its location, for its people, and for the wholesome joy it brings to the world
★★★★★Angus H-KThis is genuinely my favorite place ever. Everything about Sangamon, from the people, to the vibes to the activities is amazing. I suspect when I am old I will look back on my summers here as the best times of my life. If only I could have stayed the whole summer.
★★★★★Steven SchlasemanI attended Sangamon as a camper and CIT from 2000-2005. There is simply no better family than Sangamon. It's a beautiful place with great people, and I think it's the best way to learn to live disconnected. My love of the outdoors can absolutely be attributed to my experiences here.
