Camp Billings

Camp Billings in Thetford, Vermont, gives kids a safe haven to truly be themselves because they know that their individuality is not only valued, it is celebrated! This is a place exploding with creativity, imagination and fun: a perfect recipe to form new meaningful friendships (uninterrupted by cellphones and modern technology).

For more than a century, Camp Billings has inspired our campers to build independence and enjoy the freedom to try new activities every day. Their sense of self-reliance and community grows as they contribute through camp duties with their cabin mates.

Our devoted staff, together with the beautiful natural setting, and our unmatched camp spirit create experiences cherished for decades to come.

Camp Billings is a non-profit organization, and so our sole focus is on providing a FUN and MAGICAL summer for our campers. Our board of directors is committed to honor our founding constitution and thus remain one of the most affordable camps in New England.
