Vermont makes it Magical!

The setting and accommodations create a back drop for a truly magical experience.

Lyndon Institute
The campus of Lyndon Institute, located in the quaint village of Lyndon Center, Vermont, is the new home of Smirkus Camp for 2010. Located fifteen minutes from St. Johnsbury and only three hours from Boston, Lyndon Institute is known for its committment to outstanding arts, academic and athletic programs, as well as its scenic setting in the beautiful Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.

Lodging
Campers are housed with their counselors in two dormitory-style buildings. The rooms can accommodate two to four campers, depending on room size, and campers are assigned roommates based on age. We try to honor all reasonable roommate requests received in a timely manner.

Big Top Tents
The circus training and classes take place under our European big top tents giving our campers a real circus experience.

Meals
All meals are prepared and served in the Dining Hall by the Lyndon Institute food service. Three hearty, kid-friendly meals are served daily. Morning and afternoon snacks are provided as well. Our emphasis is on serving healthy foods, including plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Occasionally, we treat the campers to a special dessert or "kids choice" dinner. Vegetarian options are available at every meal. Campers on a vegan, kosher, gluten or wheat-free, or other special diet will need to bring some food to camp to supplement what the cook staff can provide for them.

Laundry
Campers should bring adequate clothing for their entire stay, including plenty of clean socks. Kids staying for a layover will have supervised use of the laundry facility.

(Please note that not all areas of the Lyndon Institute campus are accessible to the campers.)
