Camp is Coming!

For the first time since 2019 and the start of the pandemic, Camp Ta-Kum-Ta will be in person for our signature Summer Week this July!!!! The word “excitement” doesn’t quite portray the energy that the campers, volunteers and staff all feel about having our campers back in South Hero this summer. We are THRILLED!

With the approval of our Wellness and Health Advisory Team, campers will be able to return to camp and experience all of the wonders and joy that Camp Ta-Kum-Ta has to offer. They can swim in the pool, play basketball, use our ropes course and most importantly see their friends and connect in a way that we have all been missing. We can’t wait to again hear the sweet summer air filled with the sounds of laughter and song.

Of course, ensuring that our campers and volunteers are safe from the threat of COVID-19 will mean that Camp will look a little different than it has in the past. We have taken and continue to plan for every precaution, including preprogram and onsite testing, proper social distancing, limited community access, and the use of PPE. All of these steps with further guidance from the ACA (American Camping Association) and the CDC will mean that Camp is providing quality programming with the safety of our immunocompromised campers at heart.

Truly it has taken all of us working together to get to this point and we are so appreciative of all that you do to make Camp Ta-Kum-Ta possible. We are very much looking forward to having everyone back at camp this summer and getting back to a feeling of normalcy. We hope that you will continue to stay connected through this journey and join us in welcoming our campers and families back to Camp Ta-Kum-Ta.
