Day Camp at the Woodstock Recreation Center
Day Camp is located in the lower level of the Woodstock Little Theatre.
We strive to provide an array of activities and programs that your child will enjoy and learn from. Our camp staff participates in the Vermont Parks & Recreation statewide summer staff training program in May. They return energized with creative ideas and valuable knowledge to ensure a fun, safe, and enriching summer experience.
Camp will be closed July 4th.
