Camp Thorpe
Emily Johnson's Company Details
Camp Thorpe was born of a desire to help those whose lives are challenged physically, developmentally and emotionally, and to bring happiness to those who, by their very condition, are kept from many of the enjoyments of the average individual. Built amid the Green Mountains in Vermont, the camp aims to provide children and adults with fun, adventurous camping experiences regardless of special need or financial status. It is our hope that each camper will leave Camp Thorpe with feelings of self-respect, new leisure skills, respect for others and for nature.More than 80 years after its founding, Walter Thorpe's tradition and philosophy is maintained with the highest allegience-meeting the needs of each individual camper; showing each that he/she has ability and potential. Participation is intended to further develop this potential. Currently, camping experiences are provided to children and adults with a variety of physical and developmental needs. Although the program has expanded and changed through the years, Walter Thorpe's purpose is perpetuated through positive, successful camping experiences for children and adults in a fun, happy, stress-free environment.
