2026 Summer Camp - Loads of Fun and Green Mountain Explorers Register View Cart

Deers Leap Campers
The much anticipated Killington Parks and Recreation summer camps return to the Johnson Recreation Center for another 8-weeks of fun! Campers will enjoy outdoor exploration, swimming, crafts, sports, enrichment activities, and more. We are also pleased to partner with Sherburne Memorial Library for their summer program series.

Camp Loads of Fun is open to campers ages 4-10 who will be broken into 3 age groups:
Little Explorers (age 4-5), Junior Explorers (age 6-7), Active Explorers (age 8-10). These campers will primarily stay at the Rec Center and enjoy swimming, camp activities, weekly field trips, and camp visitors. 

Green Mountain Explorers is open to campers ages 10-13 and will embark on daily excursions away from the Johnson Recreation Center to create lasting memories and foster a deep connection with the beautiful surroundings of Killington.

Swim Lessons
Please be prepared to give your child's swim level during registration. Use the level descriptions below and make your best estimate based on your child's last experience in the water. Instructors will confirm swim levels during lessons, but having an approximate starting point is very helpful.

Level 1: Help first time swimmers feel comfortable in the water.
Level 2: Students learn how to float and start to develop fundamental skills. They should be comfortable in the water.
Level 3: Students learn to front crawl, backstroke, and tread water. Students should be able to swim length of pool comfortably.
Level 4: Students learn endurance swimming in elementary back stroke, breaststroke, sidestroke, and to turn at the wall.

All campers wishing to use the large pool during free swim must be able to swim 25 yards continuously. This requirement applies to all swimmers, whether or not they participate in swim lessons.

Campers who choose not to participate in scheduled swim lessons must successfully complete a 25-yard continuous swim test prior to being permitted to use the big pool during free swim.

Campers who cannot swim 25 yards, do not pass the swim test, or refuse to take the swim test, will be required to wear a U.S. Coast Guard–approved flotation device while in the big pool. If a camper refuses to wear a flotation device and also refuses to participate in swim lessons, the camper will not be permitted to use the big pool during free swim. In these cases, the camper will be limited to using the splash pad only during free swim periods.

Any camper who is required to wear a flotation device and enters the big pool without it will be immediately removed from the pool area. A written warning will be sent home to parents/guardians.

Strong swimmers age 5 and above who can swim the length of the pool (25 yards) unassisted, might consider joining the Killington Sharks competitive swim team. Learn more at www.killingtonsharks.swimtopia.com.

Inclement Weather Plan
Camp Loads of Fun and Green Mountain Explorers camps operate outside at the Johnson Recreation Center. In the event of severe inclement weather (thunder, lightening, severe rain etc.) camp will be moved inside the Library Meeting Room or the Parks and Recreation Building until the weather event passes. Parents will be notified via text message and email blast if camp pick-up location has been moved inside.

In the event of sustained severe conditions, Killington Parks and Recreation reserves the right to cancel or shorten the camp day due to limited indoor space available. If sustained severe weather, such as thunderstorms or heavy rain, is projected, camp staff will notify parents/guardians of any schedule modifications or cancellations via email. This notification will be sent by the end of the camp day prior to the affected day.

In the event of inclement weather that results in a state of emergency for our area, camp will be canceled until the state of emergency is lifted.
