Located on Halls Lake in central Vermont, Camp Farwell has been a summer destination for girls ages 6-16 for more than 100 years. Founded in 1906, Camp Farwell is the oldest continually operating summer camp for girls in the United States.

Camp Farwell focuses each girls summer experience on a foundation of friendship, community spirit, and a warm family environment. The camp is known for having a wide variety of activities, an exceptional horseback riding program, and a non-competitive environment that fosters friendship and personal growth. In addition, the camp takes particular pride in their sailing, kayaking, and waterskiing programs, all held on the camps gorgeous waterfront.

Program Description
Camp Farwells program is elective-based. There are five instructional periods each day and campers select a new block of activities each week. Because Farwell is located on a lake and features many water-based activities, swimming is required for beginners.

In addition to a diverse offering of land and water activities, Camp Farwell is known for an outstanding horseback riding program. The program can accommodate each campers personal skill, interest, and comfort levels. With four main skill levels, campers spend time mastering different techniques before advancing to the next level. The camp specifically hires riding specialists for this program and requires campers to wear safety helmets and boots at all times. In addition to horseback riding, Farwell is one of the few camps in the nation to offer vaulting, which is gymnastics on horseback.

For campers interested in a particular activity, Farwell offers a Clinic Week before regular camp sessions start. Campers can come early and begin riding, performing arts, tennis, soccer, or water sport activities. The session is a great option for campers who want a quick taste of a particular Farwell program.
