Crews escorted the children off Camel’s Hump mountain early Friday to be reunited with their families.
Three children were found safe in the Vermont woods Friday morning after they failed to return from a hike the afternoon prior, according to officials.
Search crews found the 14-year-old boy, 12-year-old girl, and 11-year-old boy “safe and uninjured” shortly before 6 a.m. in wooded terrain about half a mile from their camp in Duxbury, Vermont State Police said in a news release. Crews escorted the children off Camel’s Hump mountain to be reunited with their families.
The children were taking part in an organized camp and set out on a 30-minute hike around 4 p.m. Thursday, police said. After they failed to return in about 90 minutes, camp personnel launched a search and called Vermont State Police at 6:20 p.m.
Search efforts included emergency personnel from several agencies.
