The Keewaydin Foundation is an organization based in Vermont with the mission of offering camping experiences and challenges to help children achieve significant personal growth by living in a community, being independent, and living simply in rustic and natural settings. These camping experiences are centered around providing community by bringing together children and staff from a broad range of social, economic, racial, religious, and national backgrounds. Additionally, they present campers with challenges that help develop self-confidence, teach the importance of service to others, and curate an appreciation and connectedness to the natural world.
