Camp Akeela is a 3.5 week, co-ed, overnight sleepaway camp in the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont. Within a well-rounded, traditional camp program, Akeela is a small, supportive community that helps campers improve their social skills. Activities includes arts, outdoor adventure & ropes course, athletics, pool & lakefront aquatics, and more!

Akeela campers are bright, creative boys and girls ages 9 - 17 who have difficulty connecting with their peers. Many, but not all, of our campers have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome or a non verbal learning disability. Campers live in cabins with up to 8 peers and 4 counselors.

At Akeela, we believe in…
FRIENDSHIP: Camp Akeela facilitates social growth and helps campers develop meaningful, life-long friendships.
COMMUNITY: The Camp Akeela community accepts, values and celebrates each camper and staff member.
GROWTH: Camp Akeela fosters the personal growth of each camper by supplying safe and supported opportunities for choice and challenge.
PRIDE: Akeela campers develop and experience competence and are encouraged to take pride in their accomplishments.
FUN: Above all, Camp Akeela provides campers with lasting memories of summers filled with spirit and FUN!
