CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Underlying all the joy and merriment that shapes each day at Lochearn is a commitment and thoughtful approach from the directors and staff to create and sustain a caring community which encourages and celebrates the goodness in children and which helps each child move into the world with a sense of security and optimism. Imagine a community committed to kindness, a place where fun and caring go hand in hand and where girls feel free to express themselves and extend their limits without pressure to conform or fear of ridicule.

Each summer we create a community where Lochearn girls celebrate their childhood, discover the simple joys of playing, laughing and sharing good times with friends in a safe, carefree and wholesome environment. With more than 40 activity offerings to chose from within the areas of land and water sports, studio and performing arts, horseback riding, and outdoor adventure, Lochearn is a camp for everyone.

Each girl designs her own activity schedule sampling from a range of activities or focusing on areas that most interest her. While each day has structure, that structure is built around each girl's own schedule which she has determined and is immensely excited to explore! Each girl has five activities on every other day (A-Day) and five different activities on alternate days (B-Day). Girls can redesign their activity schedules every two weeks choosing from beginner, intermediate and advanced level classes.

Each afternoon, girls enjoy a free choice period which they can spontaneously choose from a variety of fun and exciting offerings including water skiing, open waterfront, open gym, tennis tournaments, stable management, theater rehearsals, sailing regattas, and many unique and special offerings in sports and studio arts.

Our Mission

To foster radical self-love through connections to nature, body, and community.

Rebels of the Moon are here to reflect back the bright light that shines from within.

You will be seen. You will be heard. You will be valued.

Rebels of the Moon Etymology

To be a rebel means no longer accepting the oppressive systems and structures that were forced upon us at birth. Being a rebel means finding your voice and speaking up when the world tells you to stay quiet. Being a rebel means knowing you are worthy and whole when the world tells you that you are never enough. Rebels are introspective and willing to challenge the culture and beliefs embedded in us.

To be of the Moon is to step into the divine feminine. Respecting that nature works in cycles, traveling from light to dark with fluidity and grace. Honoring Mother Earth and the lessons she teaches us. Knowing that to be vulnerable is to be powerful. When we honor the moon we find unity within.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: We offer sliding scale for all programs. No one will be turned away due to their financial situation.

We offer limited full scholarships

We offer trade and barter opportunities for all programs

Killooleet is variously described as a traditional camp (long season, we offer activities including weekly hikes, take two overnight trips during the season), a non-competitive camp (certainly we care more about the joy of participation than that of winning) and “that little gem of a camp.”

The schedule provides balance: arts and sports, free time and scheduled activities, challenges and fun. It encourages children to discover their interests and pursue them avidly. Campers exercise choice in daily activities, chores, and projects, developing judgment and independence alongside the deep connections that grow from membership in a vibrant community.

We chose our counselors for their abilities to be good mentors and teachers of children. Many end up going into education and related fields. All counselors take Wilderness First Aid, waterfront counselors are lifeguards. We are licensed by the State of Vermont and accredited by the American Camp Association.

CAMP FACILITIES: The workshop can accommodate 4 students each working at their own bench, and there is a modern machine shop for metal working. We have Wi-Fi available for Internet access. Our children are all grown up now, so we have several bedrooms available for students who want full room and board with family style home cooked meals. We have a grand piano in the music room, so we often enjoy playing chamber music together after dinner.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: The teacher is Jonathon A. Landell, master flute maker and flutist with 40+ years experience building hand made professional flutes for flutists world-wide, and he has sponsored these workbench training courses for the Vermont Guild of Flute Making for over 30 years. Students from every continent have traveled to Vermont to study the art of flute making and repairing, and they often return home to establish their own businesses or to find work at an established flute making company.

First, students will begin with Padding Techniques for one week by replacing all the pads from their own project flute with new pads, learning how to install and shim each pad until it seals perfectly, and then setting up the keywork to operate perfectly.

Then the second week in the Overhaul Techniques class, students will learn how to prepare a professional hand made flute for a complete overhaul by taking out dents and scratches, removing normal wear from the keys, and polishing the whole flute in the buffing machine. They also make some tools and learn how to operate a lathe, drill press and grinder. We talk about how to start a small repair business, and gather the necessary tools and supplies from vendors.

The third week students will Build Your Own Head Joint, which is the mouthpiece part of the flute. This is a hands-on flute making class where students learn the basic techniques needed to build a silver flute by hand. Filing, scraping, burnishing, sanding and polishing, torch soldering with lead solder and silver solder, and various simple machine tool operations bring the student into the craftsmanship experience that is only available through the Vermont Guild. Students will complete this class in one week and go home with a silver head joint that they made and has their own name engraved on it by Mr. Landell.

Finally, the ambitious students will complete the Build Your Own Flute class in six weeks. Starting with a silver flute body that was prepared by Mr. Landell, they will learn to file and fit each of the key parts together, brazing them with a torch, and hand fitting them together into a traditional Boehm system flute with French pointed arms, open holes and B foot joint. When the flute has been completely assembled and polished, it will have white gold springs and all the necessary hardware ready for paddng at home.

The Advanced Flute Padding Techniques class will offer training in using the modern synthetic pads of Straubinger or Schmidt, and other high tech tools for measurement of air leakage and precision padding. The Piccolo Padding Techniques class gives full training in installing cork or felt pads in piccolos, and finishing the work to set-up perfectly.

After completion of each one week class, students will receive a certificate signed by Mr. Landell showing that they successfully completed the courses. After completing the six week Build Your Own Flute class, students will receive the Guild's certificate, and the flute will be their own property for playing music and showing at exhibitions and fairs.

OTHER CAMP INFO: The first week campers remove all the pads and replace them with new pads, learning how to install pads without any air leakage. The second week campers learn how to overhaul a flute and do mechanical repair. The third week they build a silver flute head joint from scratch. Anyone who completes these 3 weeks may decide to come back for six weeks to build all the keys for a new silver flute, which becomes their property to take home and finish padding, and that class lasts six weeks. A new one week class is Advanced Flute Padding week gives training for modern synthetic pads from Straubinger or Schmidt. And now offering a one week class for Piccolo Padding Technique which gives training for padding wooden or metal piccolos.

Lunch is always provided in the Landell's home.

Students who would like to stay in the Guest Room are invited to send any specific food requirements to Mrs. Landell. Guests are expected to follow the rules of behavior that would be common in any well-mannered home.

CAMP SESSION DATES & FEES:
Classes at the Vermont Guild are generally run during the summer months when students are off for vacations. Visit the web site at Our Camp Website Link: www.landellflutes.com for specific dates and times. Other times can be arranged for one-on-one classes that would be mutually convenient with a surcharge of 50%.

Qualifications for prospective students are not formally established, and students of any age group may apply. All classes are conducted in English, and every student is required to be fluent in conversational English language ability. A well qualified student should have learned enough about playing flute to be able to read music and play well in all the three octave range.

A personal history of hand work is very important, because this project is very small and the work is detailed. Thus a crafts person should have unlimited patience with good hand-eye coordination skills. The specific information about the classes will be found on the Registration Form at the web site with the deadline for applications and requirements for payments in advance.

Prospective students should download the Registration Form from the web site, fill out all the information, and either FAX or mail the form with the deposit to Mr. Landell, or scan it and attach it to an email. A phone call or Skype meeting is always appreciated!
