Get in touch with your inner child at Kimpton Taconic Hotel in Manchester, Vt., this summer. The property introduces Kimpton’s Camp Taconic, an adults-only summer camp experience focused on the four elements: earth, wind, fire and water.
Two sessions are offered, June 23–26 and Aug. 25–28. The three-night camp includes activities such as backcountry hiking, kayaking and tubing on the Battenkill River, kite making, glassblowing and ziplining. Camp t-shirts and s’mores are included, of course. The cost is $1,400 per person, or $2,100 per couple, including accommodations for three nights, all meals and activities.
Camp counselors aid the spirit of summer camp with trumpet bugle wake-up calls, lights out warnings and campfire sing-alongs. The experience is perfect for adventure enthusiasts or travelers seeking something different. Extra nights and add-on activities, including Orvis fly fishing or Land Rover off-road driving, are based on availability.
Minimum participation is eight people per session, with a maximum of 16 people.
Components of Kimpton’s Camp Taconic include:
- Guided hike of Battenkill Valley and the surrounding Manchester area
- Meals at The Copper Grouse led by chef Adam Rafterty
- Morning sweat sessions
- An afternoon escape to secret swimming holes in the area
- Make your own blown glass, bowl or vase during a glassblowing class at Manchester Hot Glass
- A photography expedition with a local photographer
- Kayaking or tubing down the Battenkill River
- Learn to master the pit with alfresco BBQ lessons and dinner with Raftery
- S’mores, scotch and sing-alongs by the campfire
- Picnic lunch at Hildene, the Lincoln Family Home, and the opportunity to bottle-feed baby goats
- Kite making and flying at the South Vermont Arts Center

Sep 30, 2026Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley
Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
