Kids Summer Camp at Okemo Mountain Resort
Whether your family is here for the week or just a weekend, the kids will definitely want to check out Camp Gokemo. Operating six days a week (closed Sundays), campers ages 6 months through 13 years will enjoy Vermont summertime fun with daily indoor and outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and a different theme each week.
Camp Gokemo operates as a day care for the younger set and a day camp for older children, tweens and teens. The day care portion of the program is designed for children 6 months to 5 years of age and offers a warm, interactive state-licensed facility bustling with activities and fun. Children will participate in arts and crafts, painting, outdoor play, singing and more!
The day camp portion of our program is designed for children ages 5 - 13 and takes advantage of all the beauty and adventure that Vermont mountain countryside can deliver. Days are filled with themed activities, organized games and sports, swimming and crafts.
Camp Gokemo includes snacks and lunch as well as any supplies needed for arts and crafts, games and activities. Campers will need to bring: sunscreen, bug spray, swim wear, appropriate footwear (sneakers and flip flops), hats, sunglasses, and any specialty items and 
medications. We also recommend a change of clothes just in case and a water bottle.
