Catamount Outdoor Family Center

Camel's Hump

The view of Camel’s Hump from Catamount Outdoor Family Center is vast and wide. I see Vermont’s third tallest peak every day on my way to work, but looking at the mountain from the open fields of this former Williston farm is something very different.

From here you can see families spending the day cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or mountain biking with Camel’s Hump in the background. You'll also spot a couple of adorable and well-behaved donkeys at the center named Fred and Ethel.

The family-owned, 520-acre center strikes the perfect balance between recreation, community and conservation.
