Camp Thorpe

Camp Thorpe was born of a desire to help those whose lives are challenged physically, developmentally and emotionally, and to bring happiness to those who, by their very condition, are kept from many of the enjoyments of the average individual.

Currently, camping experiences are provided to children and adults with a variety of physical and developmental needs. Although the program has expanded and changed through the years, Walter Thorpe’s purpose is perpetuated through positive, successful camping experiences for children and adults in a fun, happy, stress-free environment.

Built amid the Green Mountains in Vermont, the camp aims to provide children and adults with fun, adventurous camping experiences regardless of special need or financial status. It is our hope that each camper will leave Camp Thorpe with feelings of self-respect, new leisure skills, respect for others and for nature.
