Farwell Associates

Discover the magic of Camp Farwell, a cherished Vermont sleepaway summer camp for girls aged 6-17. Since 1889, our enchanting 100-acre site nestled in the Green Mountain State, by the serene Halls Lake, has been an extraordinary haven for campers. Here, they embark on a wondrous adventure filled with thrilling activities like horseback riding, water sports, music, dance, team challenges, and more. At Camp Farwell, we believe that every girl should have the opportunity to experience the joy and excitement of a summer camp tailored to her unique interests and abilities.

Creating Lifelong Friendships and Nurturing Personal Growth

Camp Farwell is not just about the fun; it's about forging lifelong friendships, fostering a strong community spirit, and nurturing a warm family environment. We pride ourselves on creating a supportive atmosphere where campers can step out of their comfort zones and try new activities. Through these experiences, campers develop self-confidence, resilience, and an appreciation for the beauty of nature.

A Rich History of Nurturing Girls' Potential

Camp Farwell is the first sleepaway summer camp for girls in Vermont, New England, and the first summer camp for girls in the United States. Our proud legacy of empowering girls began in 1889 when Julia Farwell founded the camp. Over the past century, we have continued to build on her vision, adapting our programs and activities to meet the changing needs of campers while maintaining our commitment to the personal growth and self-confidence of every girl who attends.
