Best Vermont Cheer Camps Summer 2024 Directory

CAMP FACILITIES: We offer overnight/sleepaway dance camps in beautiful locations where the pace of life is slower. At ADTC, mountains, forests and lakes will surround you. You'll raise your serotonin, boost your immune system, and do what you love all day long.

Our dance camps are near renowned destination resorts & famous cities. At ADTC, you'll have access to all of the activities you'd want to enjoy at camp, as well as all of the amenities you'd expect to find at a resort. And we have just as much fun outside the dance studio as we do in class!

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Our top-notch dance choreographers bring the freshest dance combinations to our dance camps! They hail from the best dance studios, schools and performance groups.

ADTC choreographers have the most impressive dance resumes: they are Radio City Rockettes; Broadway & MTV performers; celebrities from your favorite dance TV shows; and collegiate dance team competitors.

No matter what level dancer you are, we’ve got fun & challenging dance classes that’ll fit you just right.

You’ll take four dance classes daily and at week’s end you get to show off your new moves in a big Friday night performance for family, friends and fellow campers.

In addition to core dance classes in contemporary, hip hop & jazz (styles of jazz vary and may include lyrical, modern or Broadway), you’ll choose between ballet, tap or world dance for your core elective dance class.

And we believe girls in our perfectionist culture need to get out and have more authentic fun! At ADTC you can enjoy awesome activities & extras like horseback riding, kayaking, paintball, trampolines, swimming, hiking, rock wall climbing, alpine slides, water rides, and so much more!

Join us this summer for your chance to take dance classes with the best choreographers in the world!

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Underlying all the joy and merriment that shapes each day at Lochearn is a commitment and thoughtful approach from the directors and staff to create and sustain a caring community which encourages and celebrates the goodness in children and which helps each child move into the world with a sense of security and optimism. Imagine a community committed to kindness, a place where fun and caring go hand in hand and where girls feel free to express themselves and extend their limits without pressure to conform or fear of ridicule.

Each summer we create a community where Lochearn girls celebrate their childhood, discover the simple joys of playing, laughing and sharing good times with friends in a safe, carefree and wholesome environment. With more than 40 activity offerings to chose from within the areas of land and water sports, studio and performing arts, horseback riding, and outdoor adventure, Lochearn is a camp for everyone.

Each girl designs her own activity schedule sampling from a range of activities or focusing on areas that most interest her. While each day has structure, that structure is built around each girl's own schedule which she has determined and is immensely excited to explore! Each girl has five activities on every other day (A-Day) and five different activities on alternate days (B-Day). Girls can redesign their activity schedules every two weeks choosing from beginner, intermediate and advanced level classes.

Each afternoon, girls enjoy a free choice period which they can spontaneously choose from a variety of fun and exciting offerings including water skiing, open waterfront, open gym, tennis tournaments, stable management, theater rehearsals, sailing regattas, and many unique and special offerings in sports and studio arts.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: We build a supportive community in which each is respected for his or her strengths, and the horseback rider, the basketball player, the singer and the painter are all appreciated. Killooleet is variously described as a traditional camp (long season, we offer activities including weekly hikes, take two overnight trips during the season), a non-competitive camp (certainly we care more about the joy of participation than that of winning) and “that little gem of a camp.”

The schedule provides balance: arts and sports, free time and scheduled activities, challenges and fun. It encourages children to discover their interests and pursue them avidly. Campers exercise choice in daily activities, chores, and projects, developing judgment and independence alongside the deep connections that grow from membership in a vibrant community.

We chose our counselors for their abilities to be good mentors and teachers of children. Many end up going into education and related fields. All counselors take Wilderness First Aid, waterfront counselors are lifeguards. We are licensed by the State of Vermont and accredited by the American Camp Association.
