Describe contributing and noncontributing resources if applicable. Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, type, style, method of construction, setting, size, and significant features. Indicate whether the property has historic integrity.) ______________________________________________________________________________ Summary Paragraph Camp Marbury comprises approximately 7.3 acres and is located on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain in the town of Ferrisburgh, Vermont.1 The camp is surrounded by woodlands to the north and south, agricultural land to the east, and is bounded by the lake to the west. Directly south of Camp Marbury is the Basin Harbor Club, a summer resort founded in the 1890s, and the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, an educational and research facility founded in 1986. To the north, the lakeshore is lightly developed with private camps scattered along Mile Point Road. All the buildings at Camp Marbury have views of the lake through the woods. Much of the landscape is open meadow and mowed lawns, with mature coniferous and deciduous trees providing shade near most of the buildings. Camp Marbury operated as a private summer camp for girls ages 8-16 from 1921 until 1942. The camp was founded by two couples with backgrounds in the education of young women: Henry and Mary Sleeper of Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts, and Henry and Helen Worthington of Sweet Briar College, Sweet Briar, Virginia. Henry and Mary Sleeper had previously worked at the Aloha Camp for girls in Fairlee, Vermont, and Helen Worthington at the Tahoma Camp for girls in Pike, New Hampshire.2 Camp Marbury offered outdoor activities such as swimming, canoeing, tennis, field games, horseback riding, and basketball, as well as a range of indoor activities including jewelry making, camp crafts, and drama. Music was a particular focus of the camp, as Henry Sleeper was a professor of music at Smith College. The camp operated through the 1942 season and then ran as an adult camp for a year or two. The buildings were auctioned off for use as private summer homes in 1945. The former camp property contains a cohesive complex of buildings designed in the Adirondack Rustic and Bungalow styles, most of which were constructed during the first half of the 20th century, from c. 1900 to c. 1942. The well- preserved structures represent a significant example of a private girls' summer camp built 1 Early newspaper accounts of the founding of the camp erroneously state that it is in the city of Vergennes. 2 “Vergennes Will Have Girls’ Summer Camp,” The Middlebury Register, March 11, 1921, p. 2.

Camp Marbury retains integrity of setting, location, materials, design, workmanship, association, and feeling. ______________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description The buildings and structures at Camp Marbury represent a variety of architectural styles that are common to early 20th century youth summer camps in Vermont. Most of the camp buildings exhibit Adirondack Rustic or Bungalow-style detailing in their casement windows, exposed rafter tails and stone chimneys. They were designed and built with a simple and utilitarian forms and materials and intended for summer use as evidenced by the lack of insulation and exposed wall framing on the interior. Most of the buildings remain in their original locations, and remain grouped together as they were when Camp Marbury was operational. The interiors retain defining historic materials such as woodwork, flooring, exposed ceilings, wall surfaces, stone fireplaces, and stair railings. Along with the buildings, several landscape features associated with Camp Marbury remain intact. The buildings are set in a row along the
