2013 Annual Report
Managing Director Message
I was recently reminded by my daughter that through the centuries, music
has been a universal language understood around the world and right here
in Vermont our camp song is no different. I have included the song on the
back of this report because I truly feel that the message is simple and paints
a picture of what camp is all about. The words that ring true with me are
“Through rain or shine we’ll have an awesome time”.
Our kids truly deserve to have an awesome time and through the generous
support of our donors and the tireless efforts of our volunteers, you make it
possible for us to provide a fantastic program filled with positive memories
that will last a lifetime.
On behalf of our Staff, Board of Directors and the Campers we serve, thank
you for all you do in making CAMP! such a magical place for our kids.

Mission Statement
Camp Exclamation Point provides continuity and community to
underserved, rural Vermont kids
through a week-long residential summer camp.
Camp! History
Camp Exclamation Point, Inc. (CAMP!) is a Vermont-based non-profit
organization that gives over 110 children from rural Vermont communities
a week-long residential summer camp experience. Many of our campers’
families are involved with the agriculture, dairy or logging industries within
the state and often relocate to follow seasonal work.
CAMP! was founded in 1991, when the Vermont Migrant Education
Program discontinued the original camp. Several staff members were
committed however, in providing continuity for the children with whom
they had been working with and created CAMP! as a way to meet that need.
Staff recognized that the summer experience made an important difference
in these children’s lives and provided them with opportunities otherwise
inaccessible to them and their families. In addition, we also offer older
campers a Teen Leadership Program (TLP), providing the opportunity to
develop teamwork and leadership skills, while building their confidence
and self-esteem.
