"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." — but this weekend? This one means exactly what you think: pure, unforgettable magic.

Welcome to the Fire Swamp, the Cliffs of Insanity, the Pit of Despair — and somehow, the most charming vacation you've ever taken. Ultra Camp's "Inconceivable!" Edition invites families to storm the castle at Camp Thorpe, nestled in Vermont's Green Mountains, for a two-day, one-night adventure straight out of Florin. Lounge beside our vast 100ft x 50ft zero-entry pool (no ROUSs, we promise), sleep in snug rustic cabins with real beds, feast on mouthwatering meals, and step into the scenes you've quoted your entire life — crowned by an exclusive screening of The Princess Bride itself under the stars.

As Westley once said: "We are men of action. Lies do not become us." So we'll be honest — this is the greatest family camp weekend ever conceived. Movie Screening of Rob Reiner's The Princess Bride is courtesy of Criterion Pictures, an Anuvu Company

"To the Pain" — Or Rather, To the Costume Contest

Sharpen your swords, secure your six-fingered glove, and brace yourself for a weekend as unpredictable as the Dread Pirate Roberts' legendary origin story. Dress as Buttercup, Inigo, Fezzik, Vizzini, Miracle Max, or anyone from the kingdom of Florin — costumes are encouraged for all ages, but completely optional. We'll provide DIY inspiration and ideas before the event, so no one need face the Pit of Despair unprepared. Arrive in your finest attire and put your trivia prowess to the test for prizes worthy of a kingdom — and perhaps even true love.

"This Is True Love. You Think This Happens Every Day?"

By joining this event, you do far more than create magical memories — you become a hero of the story. Camp Thorpe has spent 99 years dedicated to providing campers with disabilities a safe, joy-filled place to grow, laugh, and build confidence in an inclusive environment. Every ticket directly supports scholarships, accessible facilities, and enriching activities for campers who might not otherwise have these summer opportunities. Like Inigo finally completing his quest, your support helps ensure that no camper’s summer story goes unfinished.

"Since the invention of the kiss, there have been five kisses rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind," — and we think Camp Thorpe's mission is a lot like that. Unmatched.
