About Our Activities

At Brown Ledge, we work hard at fun and laughter! But for us, fun brings far more lasting pleasure when it is accompanied by a true sense of accomplishment. With that in mind, our counselors teach in one department, and are chosen for their ability to teach that activity. To provide the ultimate learning atmosphere, we strive to provide excellent equipment and facilities. Most important, we let you, the camper, decide your own program…every day!

Our Alumni

Welcome Back! We’re grateful for the strong network of alums – campers and counselors – who stay connected with each other and with their Brown Ledge experience. Whether it’s been months, years, or decades since you last walked among the trees, sang camp songs around the table, breathed in the smells of the horses, or immersed yourself in the cool waters of Lake Champlain, we’re glad you’re here. Brown Ledge Spirit never dies!

Harry E. Brown’s Information for Campers

Posted on April 17, 2015

We never get tired of reading HEB’s essay on what it means to be a camper at BLC. Whether it is 1927, 1952, 1978, 1999, or 2024 – our philosophy has remained the same!
