We just came home from our first Lost Arts camp and it was Wonderful. A truly enriching experience for my children and myself. My boys (10,7, and 5) had such a fantastic experience that they already want to know when we are going back. The activities keep everyone occupied but not at a hare's pace, its really incredibly relaxing. I... More

Situated in a beautiful part of Vermont, this was a perfect vacation for our family. The adults loved having the morning free to dabble in all kinds of classes and activities, from dance to hikes to a volleyball game to glass blowing. The kids felt free and safe and loved being at camp with their parents. It was a chance... More

We went to Camp Common Ground for the second week of the summer. We were nervous. The last family camp we went to exhausted and drained us. We adore our kids, but hey- it's still a job right? I was risking a lot when I booked this vacation, but I still had a dream that family camp could feel like... More

I've spent two summers in a row at Camp Common Ground located in lovely, rural Vermont, and can understand why most families keep wanting to go back. It's a unique place where kids spend the mornings in Kidsville doing various age appropriate activities and their parents are free to explore dance, yoga, archery, glass bead making, hikes, tennis, and a...

Attending their Camp Common Ground signature weeks was an exposure to art forms neither I nor my experienced artistic daughter had tried, like making sun print clothing and silk painting, for just a start. The lovely natural setting, delicious healthy foods, kindhearted people, room for... More

This summer I took my 2 sons and spent a week at Camp Common Ground. I had never been there before and didn't know anyone who had been, so it was a bit of a leap of faith for us. But boy, did that the leap pay off! We met so many amazing people and felt right at home from... More

My daughter and I have attended Chinese Culture camp at Common Ground Center for 4 years. Even though we're only there for a few days each year, it always feels like coming home. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The fresh, mostly locally grown and vegetarian food is delicious and plentiful. My daughter loves swimming in the pond and... More

I wasn't there for the standard experience, but instead was a guest at a weekend wedding. We stayed in "twin south", a two-person cabin. It was clean, the beds were comfortable and just the right amount of space for two. I'm not much for "camping" and I was totally great with all of the accommodations. We were able to check... More

This camp is situated in the heart of Vermont, and as such, has myriad Vermonty outdoor activities. Kids are separated from adults for the beginning of the day and kids do kid-like activities and parents can optionally do adulty things like non-verbal communication, glass bead blowing, guitar lessons, improv comedy, nature walks, yoga, etc. The rest of the day is...
