Summer Camp Memories

AP/Keewaydin Dunmore

Mon, Aug 12 Noon and 7 PM  Kids have been spending their summers at Vermont camps for over a hundred years. It’s where they learn to swim, get to know nature and where they create friendships that can last a lifetime.

Ellen Flight, president of the Vermont Camping Association, joins us as we hear about summer camp traditions, adventures and maybe even a few camp songs.

Also in the program, Critical Access Hospitals. It's a special federal designation that helps rural hospitals stay in business, even with slim profit margins, and Vermont has seven of them. Michael Del Trecco with the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems explains more. 

Plus, we return to summer school to learn how to wax our skis. It’s never too early to start planning for the winter in Vermont.
