Cabins at Brown Ledge

Our Wedding

In June of 2018 Samantha was at&nbsp;Brown Ledge Camp starting&nbsp;her fourth summer as a counselor and Shannon had just read a Facebook post about open positions. The next day Shannon got on a plane to Vermont where Samantha would find her at the airport and take her to Brown Ledge. Neither of us&nbsp;knew it was going to be the start to the rest of our&nbsp;lives together.&nbsp;That summer we spent everyday together, our relationship grew quickly and we didn't want it to end.&nbsp;After camp ended we were separated by over 5,000 miles. Luckily we were able to travel to visit each other a few times and spent plenty of time on FaceTime.&nbsp;By Christmas of 2018 we both knew that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. We had another year of&nbsp;long-distance, but spent 4 months together for the summer in 2019 which made it a lot easier.&nbsp;&nbsp;Fast forward to 2020. Samantha finally got her visa sorted and was able to move to America. And we can't wait to get married in September!!!

Q + A

Burlington International Airport

There will be cabins available at camp for guests to stay in over the weekend (3rd-5th September). Cabins will be 'Broom Clean', with a twin bed (or a full if you're lucky), shelves and power outlet. There is a large shared bathroom for all to use. It's by no means luxury living... it is a summer camp after all... but this place means a lot to both of us! There is some bedding (pillow, sheets and blankets) available to use, but not enough for everyone, so you may need to pack your sleeping bag and pillow. But we will do our best to accommodate everyone. Please email sam.shannon.elford@gmail.com to let us know if you would like to stay at camp, so we can organise/organize cabins.

What to do in Vermont?

Vermont is amazing and there is lots to do in the State.&nbsp;If you're wanting to&nbsp;travel&nbsp;and see&nbsp;more in the Northeast,&nbsp;don't be put off by the distance, it'll be worth it. ;)

New York&nbsp;City&nbsp;is just under a 6 hour drive from Burlington, VT, with a scenic drive through Southern VT and&nbsp;along the Hudson Valley.
