For more serious weather, we utilize a variety of indoor facilities available to us—including The Lodge, the Collins Perley Sports & Fitness Center, City Hall Auditorium, and even the Welden Theatre—so the fun never stops. Most importantly, we’re proud to have the best staff around: experienced, caring counselors dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and exciting environment for every camper.Did you know?

Day Camp 2026 - Early Drop-Off
THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL PAGE ONLY TO HELP FAMILIES PLAN. REGISTRATION FOR DAY CAMP 2026 WILL OPEN ON MONDAY, JANUARY 12TH AT 10AM. MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW :)At this time, there is NO registration discount available for MRUSD students, unlike in previous summers. Due to uncertainty regarding federal funding, MRUSD has not yet received confirmation of the allocation for summer programming and many not receive this information until shortly before the start of camp. Families will be notified if funding becomes available.Why Should You Choose Our Day Camp?Choosing our day camp means giving your child a summer filled with adventure, growth, and unforgettable memories. We’re an active, outdoor-focused camp where kids spend full days playing sports, creating unique crafts, exploring nature, and swimming daily. We spend as much time as possible outdoors, so campers should come prepared for any and all weather situations. Even in a drizzle, we’ll enjoy outdoor play, making proper clothing essential. For more serious weather, we utilize a variety of indoor facilities available to us—including The Lodge, the Collins Perley Sports & Fitness Center, City Hall Auditorium, and even the Welden Theatre—so the fun never stops. Most importantly, we’re proud to have the best staff around: experienced, caring counselors dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and exciting environment for every camper.Did you know? Did you know that if your child is signed up for swim lessons, swim team, or any other program offered by the St. Albans Recreation Department that occurs DURING camp hours - our staff will get them where they need to go! However, we will now know your child is signed up for anything unless YOU tell us at drop-off. If your child is signed up for another program, please let the camp director know what the program is and what time it occurs. Without communication from a parent, we will not know that they need to be somewhere.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW :)At this time, there is NO registration discount available for MRUSD students, unlike in previous summers. Due to uncertainty regarding federal funding, MRUSD has not yet received confirmation of the allocation for summer programming and many not receive this information until shortly before the start of camp. Families will be notified if funding becomes available.Why Should You Choose Our Day Camp?Choosing our day camp means giving your child a summer filled with adventure, growth, and unforgettable memories. We’re an active, outdoor-focused camp where kids spend full days playing sports, creating unique crafts, exploring nature, and swimming daily. We spend as much time as possible outdoors, so campers should come prepared for any and all weather situations. Even in a drizzle, we’ll enjoy outdoor play, making proper clothing essential. For more serious weather, we utilize a variety of indoor facilities available to us—including The Lodge, the Collins Perley Sports & Fitness Center, City Hall Auditorium, and even the Welden Theatre—so the fun never stops. Most importantly, we’re proud to have the best staff around: experienced, caring counselors dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and exciting environment for every camper.Did you know?

Day Camp 2026 CIT Program - (Counselor In Training) - CIT Week 2 (Monday - Thursday)
At this time, there is no registration discount available for MRUSD students, unlike in previous summers. Due to uncertainty regarding federal funding, MRUSD has not yet received confirmation of the allocation for summer programming and may not receive this information until shortly before the start of camp. Families will be notified if funding becomes available.What is a CIT? CIT stands for "Counselor In Training." This program is designed to provide young people (ages 13-15) with leadership and development opportunities through hands on learning experiences. The CIT program is perfect for teens who have aged out of Day Camp, but still want to be immersed in "camp life" and ready to take on an added level of responsibility.CITs will help out with a variety of camp tasks from camper supervision to assisting with activity planning and implementation, to helping clean up! Not only are CITs a great helping hand, but they also become great role models for the kiddos at our camp. By the end of Summer, many campers look up to these teens and tell us they can't wait until they are old enough to be a CIT - and that is what this program is all about!How do I know if my child is a good fit for the program?Being a CIT is not for everyone, and that's okay! A strong candidate for our CIT program is typically a young teen who is eager to grow as a leader and contribute positively to a camp community. While they may not yet have formal experience leading young campers, they will show enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to learn. These teens often enjoy being part of group activities, like to help others and take pride in being role models, even if they are still figuring out what leadership means for them. An important trait of a Counselor in Training is responsibility. A good CIT shows they can follow guidelines, manage their time and stay committed to tasks (even when theyre not the most exciting). They demonstrate growing maturity in the way they communicate, handle feedback, and navigate challenges. Though mistakes are expected, strong CIT candidates are open to learning from them and motivated to improve.ALL CITS must have an interest and basic understanding of working with children and how to be a good role model. They will listen well, show empathy toward younger campers, and recognize the value of working together with the counselor team. They don't need to be outgoing or naturally confident - our program is designed to build those skills - but they should be willing to step out of their comfort zone and try new things. Traits of a Successful CIT!~ Kind~ Responsible~ Fun~ Helpful~ Good Role Model~ Leader~ Engaging~ PositiveScheduleAlthough the CIT Program runs from 8:00am - 1:00pm daily, CITS will have the option to get picked up at this point or to stay until the camp day is done at 4:30pm. If your CIT would like to stay until 4:30 - all camp rules apply. CITS are welcome to utilize the pool and hangout or continue responsibilities of our CIT Program. CITS are expected to stay under staff supervision.Week 1: No CITs during week one; they will start on Monday, June 29thWeek 2: June 29 to July 2Week 3: July 6 to July 9Week 4: July 13 to July 16Week 5: July 20 to July 23Week 6: July 27 to July 30Week 7: August 3 to August 6Week 8: August 10 to August 13Week 9: August 17 to August 20Registration InformationRegistration is done by the WEEK (Monday-Thursday). You can sign up for 1 week or all of the weeks, that is up to you and your family! We do NOT allow single-day registrations. After registering, all CIT candidates must contact Chloe to schedule an interview. While it’s not a formal interview, it’s a great opportunity for the CIT to meet with us before summer begins. We’ll talk about the program, answer questions, put a familiar face to a name, and make sure the CIT feels confident that this is the right fit for them. CITs can schedule their interview by emailing c.lumbra@stalbansvt.com. Prior to the start of camp, there will be an orientation/training for all registered CITs to attend. At the orientation, they will get the chance to meet the other CITs, become familiar with Hard'ack, and learn more in-depth about their roles and responsibilities at camp.Weekly RatesSt. Albans Residents - $110Non-Residents - $145

Day Camp 2026 CIT Program - (Counselor In Training) - CIT Week 2 (Monday - Thursday)
At this time, there is no registration discount available for MRUSD students, unlike in previous summers. Due to uncertainty regarding federal funding, MRUSD has not yet received confirmation of the allocation for summer programming and may not receive this information until shortly before the start of camp. Families will be notified if funding becomes available.What is a CIT? CIT stands for "Counselor In Training." This program is designed to provide young people (ages 13-15) with leadership and development opportunities through hands on learning experiences. The CIT program is perfect for teens who have aged out of Day Camp, but still want to be immersed in "camp life" and ready to take on an added level of responsibility.CITs will help out with a variety of camp tasks from camper supervision to assisting with activity planning and implementation, to helping clean up! Not only are CITs a great helping hand, but they also become great role models for the kiddos at our camp. By the end of Summer, many campers look up to these teens and tell us they can't wait until they are old enough to be a CIT - and that is what this program is all about!How do I know if my child is a good fit for the program?Being a CIT is not for everyone, and that's okay! A strong candidate for our CIT program is typically a young teen who is eager to grow as a leader and contribute positively to a camp community. While they may not yet have formal experience leading young campers, they will show enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to learn. These teens often enjoy being part of group activities, like to help others and take pride in being role models, even if they are still figuring out what leadership means for them. An important trait of a Counselor in Training is responsibility. A good CIT shows they can follow guidelines, manage their time and stay committed to tasks (even when theyre not the most exciting). They demonstrate growing maturity in the way they communicate, handle feedback, and navigate challenges. Though mistakes are expected, strong CIT candidates are open to learning from them and motivated to improve.ALL CITS must have an interest and basic understanding of working with children and how to be a good role model. They will listen well, show empathy toward younger campers, and recognize the value of working together with the counselor team. They don't need to be outgoing or naturally confident - our program is designed to build those skills - but they should be willing to step out of their comfort zone and try new things. Traits of a Successful CIT!~ Kind~ Responsible~ Fun~ Helpful~ Good Role Model~ Leader~ Engaging~ PositiveScheduleAlthough the CIT Program runs from 8:00am - 1:00pm daily, CITS will have the option to get picked up at this point or to stay until the camp day is done at 4:30pm. If your CIT would like to stay until 4:30 - all camp rules apply. CITS are welcome to utilize the pool and hangout or continue responsibilities of our CIT Program. CITS are expected to stay under staff supervision.Week 1: No CITs during week one; they will start on Monday, June 29thWeek 2: June 29 to July 2Week 3: July 6 to July 9Week 4: July 13 to July 16Week 5: July 20 to July 23Week 6: July 27 to July 30Week 7: August 3 to August 6Week 8: August 10 to August 13Week 9: August 17 to August 20Registration InformationRegistration is done by the WEEK (Monday-Thursday). You can sign up for 1 week or all of the weeks, that is up to you and your family! We do NOT allow single-day registrations. After registering, all CIT candidates must contact Chloe to schedule an interview. While it’s not a formal interview, it’s a great opportunity for the CIT to meet with us before summer begins. We’ll talk about the program, answer questions, put a familiar face to a name, and make sure the CIT feels confident that this is the right fit for them. CITs can schedule their interview by emailing c.lumbra@stalbansvt.com. Prior to the start of camp, there will be an orientation/training for all registered CITs to attend. At the orientation, they will get the chance to meet the other CITs, become familiar with Hard'ack, and learn more in-depth about their roles and responsibilities at camp.Weekly RatesSt. Albans Residents - $110Non-Residents - $145

Day Camp 2026 CIT Program - (Counselor In Training) - CIT Week 2 (Monday - Thursday)
At this time, there is no registration discount available for MRUSD students, unlike in previous summers. Due to uncertainty regarding federal funding, MRUSD has not yet received confirmation of the allocation for summer programming and may not receive this information until shortly before the start of camp. Families will be notified if funding becomes available.What is a CIT? CIT stands for "Counselor In Training." This program is designed to provide young people (ages 13-15) with leadership and development opportunities through hands on learning experiences. The CIT program is perfect for teens who have aged out of Day Camp, but still want to be immersed in "camp life" and ready to take on an added level of responsibility.CITs will help out with a variety of camp tasks from camper supervision to assisting with activity planning and implementation, to helping clean up! Not only are CITs a great helping hand, but they also become great role models for the kiddos at our camp. By the end of Summer, many campers look up to these teens and tell us they can't wait until they are old enough to be a CIT - and that is what this program is all about!How do I know if my child is a good fit for the program?Being a CIT is not for everyone, and that's okay! A strong candidate for our CIT program is typically a young teen who is eager to grow as a leader and contribute positively to a camp community. While they may not yet have formal experience leading young campers, they will show enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to learn. These teens often enjoy being part of group activities, like to help others and take pride in being role models, even if they are still figuring out what leadership means for them. An important trait of a Counselor in Training is responsibility. A good CIT shows they can follow guidelines, manage their time and stay committed to tasks (even when theyre not the most exciting). They demonstrate growing maturity in the way they communicate, handle feedback, and navigate challenges. Though mistakes are expected, strong CIT candidates are open to learning from them and motivated to improve.ALL CITS must have an interest and basic understanding of working with children and how to be a good role model. They will listen well, show empathy toward younger campers, and recognize the value of working together with the counselor team. They don't need to be outgoing or naturally confident - our program is designed to build those skills - but they should be willing to step out of their comfort zone and try new things. Traits of a Successful CIT!~ Kind~ Responsible~ Fun~ Helpful~ Good Role Model~ Leader~ Engaging~ PositiveScheduleAlthough the CIT Program runs from 8:00am - 1:00pm daily, CITS will have the option to get picked up at this point or to stay until the camp day is done at 4:30pm. If your CIT would like to stay until 4:30 - all camp rules apply. CITS are welcome to utilize the pool and hangout or continue responsibilities of our CIT Program. CITS are expected to stay under staff supervision.Week 1: No CITs during week one; they will start on Monday, June 29thWeek 2: June 29 to July 2Week 3: July 6 to July 9Week 4: July 13 to July 16Week 5: July 20 to July 23Week 6: July 27 to July 30Week 7: August 3 to August 6Week 8: August 10 to August 13Week 9: August 17 to August 20Registration InformationRegistration is done by the WEEK (Monday-Thursday). You can sign up for 1 week or all of the weeks, that is up to you and your family! We do NOT allow single-day registrations. After registering, all CIT candidates must contact Chloe to schedule an interview. While it’s not a formal interview, it’s a great opportunity for the CIT to meet with us before summer begins. We’ll talk about the program, answer questions, put a familiar face to a name, and make sure the CIT feels confident that this is the right fit for them. CITs can schedule their interview by emailing c.lumbra@stalbansvt.com. Prior to the start of camp, there will be an orientation/training for all registered CITs to attend. At the orientation, they will get the chance to meet the other CITs, become familiar with Hard'ack, and learn more in-depth about their roles and responsibilities at camp.Weekly RatesSt. Albans Residents - $110Non-Residents - $145

Day Camp 2026 CIT Program - (Counselor In Training) - CIT Week 2 (Monday - Thursday)
At this time, there is no registration discount available for MRUSD students, unlike in previous summers. Due to uncertainty regarding federal funding, MRUSD has not yet received confirmation of the allocation for summer programming and may not receive this information until shortly before the start of camp. Families will be notified if funding becomes available.What is a CIT? CIT stands for "Counselor In Training." This program is designed to provide young people (ages 13-15) with leadership and development opportunities through hands on learning experiences. The CIT program is perfect for teens who have aged out of Day Camp, but still want to be immersed in "camp life" and ready to take on an added level of responsibility.CITs will help out with a variety of camp tasks from camper supervision to assisting with activity planning and implementation, to helping clean up! Not only are CITs a great helping hand, but they also become great role models for the kiddos at our camp. By the end of Summer, many campers look up to these teens and tell us they can't wait until they are old enough to be a CIT - and that is what this program is all about!How do I know if my child is a good fit for the program?Being a CIT is not for everyone, and that's okay! A strong candidate for our CIT program is typically a young teen who is eager to grow as a leader and contribute positively to a camp community. While they may not yet have formal experience leading young campers, they will show enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to learn. These teens often enjoy being part of group activities, like to help others and take pride in being role models, even if they are still figuring out what leadership means for them. An important trait of a Counselor in Training is responsibility. A good CIT shows they can follow guidelines, manage their time and stay committed to tasks (even when theyre not the most exciting). They demonstrate growing maturity in the way they communicate, handle feedback, and navigate challenges. Though mistakes are expected, strong CIT candidates are open to learning from them and motivated to improve.ALL CITS must have an interest and basic understanding of working with children and how to be a good role model. They will listen well, show empathy toward younger campers, and recognize the value of working together with the counselor team. They don't need to be outgoing or naturally confident - our program is designed to build those skills - but they should be willing to step out of their comfort zone and try new things. Traits of a Successful CIT!~ Kind~ Responsible~ Fun~ Helpful~ Good Role Model~ Leader~ Engaging~ PositiveScheduleAlthough the CIT Program runs from 8:00am - 1:00pm daily, CITS will have the option to get picked up at this point or to stay until the camp day is done at 4:30pm. If your CIT would like to stay until 4:30 - all camp rules apply. CITS are welcome to utilize the pool and hangout or continue responsibilities of our CIT Program. CITS are expected to stay under staff supervision.Week 1: No CITs during week one; they will start on Monday, June 29thWeek 2: June 29 to July 2Week 3: July 6 to July 9Week 4: July 13 to July 16Week 5: July 20 to July 23Week 6: July 27 to July 30Week 7: August 3 to August 6Week 8: August 10 to August 13Week 9: August 17 to August 20Registration InformationRegistration is done by the WEEK (Monday-Thursday). You can sign up for 1 week or all of the weeks, that is up to you and your family! We do NOT allow single-day registrations. After registering, all CIT candidates must contact Chloe to schedule an interview. While it’s not a formal interview, it’s a great opportunity for the CIT to meet with us before summer begins. We’ll talk about the program, answer questions, put a familiar face to a name, and make sure the CIT feels confident that this is the right fit for them. CITs can schedule their interview by emailing c.lumbra@stalbansvt.com. Prior to the start of camp, there will be an orientation/training for all registered CITs to attend. At the orientation, they will get the chance to meet the other CITs, become familiar with Hard'ack, and learn more in-depth about their roles and responsibilities at camp.Weekly RatesSt. Albans Residents - $110Non-Residents - $145
