Facilities, Accommodations and Food

We are located in Starksboro, Vermont which is 30 minutes from Burlington and Lake Champlain. We are 6 hours from NYC, 4 hours from Boston and 2.5 hours from Montreal. Our 700 acre property includes hiking trails, mountain forests, a scenic wetland and open fields. Lewis Creek meanders for almost a mile along one border. The property includes 17 different natural habitats and a great diversity of wildlife and vegetation. Our camp is located on an old farm, nestled in the valley between the Hogback and Green Mountains.

Our goal is to tread lightly on the land around us and operate in an environmentally responsible way. That is why we have donated a conservation easement to protect 560 of our 700 acres from development in perpetuity.

Careful consideration has been taken to minimize the human impact in our use of the land. We are committed to energy conservation, recycling and to using environmentally friendly products and materials. Most of the wood used in our construction was harvested and milled on site.

Program Facilities

Our facility offers many opportunities for outdoor recreation. Large open fields are available for baseball, soccer, volleyball, and group games. The miles of hiking trails on the property are perfect for nature exploration and adventure. The creek has a variety of swimming holes, offering the opportunity to cool off and play in the water. A large wetland is home to many species of waterfowl, amphibians, and aquatic mammals. At our relatively remote location, we can listen to bird calls on quite morning and star-gaze on clear nights.

The Kid Barn is the starting point of our children's programs. Adult programs are offered in the Farm House, the Dining Hall, the Hay Barn, the Old Workshop, two art bays, a large screened-in porch and on the grounds.

Accommodations

Several scenic sites are available to pitch your own tent. For an additional fee, campers may stay in a private cabins. To see photos, fees and floor plans of the cabins, click here.

The one and two room cabins are all newly constructed, many with porches. They are located alone or in small groupings within the Maple Grove, between moss-covered rock outcroppings. The cabins do not have electricity which provides for a greater appreciation of Vermont's lovely nights. The Bathhouse is located nearby. Additional bathrooms are located in the Farm House, Dining Hall and Kidville. All bathrooms are handicapped accessible.

Dining at CCG - Delicious Vegetarian Food

The food at CCG is spectacular and consistently receives rave reviews from our campers.

We serve three meals each day at camp, beginning with dinner on the day of arrival and ending with breakfast on departure day. Healthy snacks are always available in the Art Barn as well. Our highly-praised cuisine includes offerings that appeal to adults as well as children.

Our food is vegetarian, organic and locally grown where possible. Most of our baking is done on site. We accommodate special needs diets, where possible - please contact the office if you have concerns.

"The food is terrific! I am so thankful for the kid food options which were plentiful and well done. It was such a relief to not have all the junk food problems that we usually encounter while traveling.”
