Summer Camps 2025
malt Summer Camps
MALT Summer Camps are a full circle experience for our entire community. The idea started 34 years ago, when thoughtful people came together to protect the natural spaces of Addison County, VT. Each summer, MALT brings it’s mission to life by connecting local youth with the protected lands of their back yards. In forests, meadows, rivers, wetlands, and everywhere in-between we imagine, play, create, build, and connect with nature, and with each other. Our children are the future and at MALT, we believe that love of nature is a way of life. Help us bring these two ideas together and join us on your wild side!

The Bread Loaf View campus is home to many acres of stunning maple sugaring woods. Your child will be fully immersed in a wild space in the heart of Cornwall. We have been able to extend our vacation hours thanks to the use of an indoor warming space which we will periodically visit throughout the day.
Each day of February Vacation Camp has its own registration and lottery set. Please feel free to sign up for one or all days and be aware that we use an individual lottery for each day. You will be notified of each days of the week you are awarded slots for by February 7th. Each day will have its own unique, winter theme:
