Drop-Off and Orientation

Hi Everyone,

Thank you all for choosing Stowe Dryland Camp for your children this summer. We have a great week planned and will be updating the blog 2-3 times a day to keep everyone connected to the great things we have planned.

The first afternoon/evening of camp is designated to heighten comfort levels of all campers and to get the kids used to moving and having a schedule. For the most part, the first night at camp was the smoothest since I've been involved, and everyone got at least SOME sleep.


Our full-time staff is fantastic, made up of young coaches as well as college ski racers. The energy we bring to an already energetic group will keep the entire camp moving at even the most tiresome times. The counselors for the six countries are Justin Sperry (Colby College), Marley Pawlak (Plymouth State), Will Randall (Colby College), Kali St. Laurent (Plymouth State), Jim Ryan (Colby College), and Isabelle LaMotte (CIT). Coaches/counselors also joining us for the week are Alex Norden (KMS), Molly MacLeod (St. Mike's), Eric Barthold (Colby College), and Shawn Dunstan (Colby-Sawyer). Due to our first ever Counselor Orientation, this group has already had time to bond and share some great ideas for activities this week.


One major goal of mine is to get the kids in the water at least once a day, and this even included last night!


We'll keep updating as the days go on.

Danny Noyes - Stowe Dryland Camp Director
