Our Camp VCP Team
Our camp planning team is made up of amazing VCP volunteers who have a combined 50+ years in fields of education and leadership (teachers, previous camp counselors, business owners, and coachs), non-profit organization leaders, and educators. We know what makes a camp exceptional and with that goal in mind, are planning a week packed with activity that’s both fun and educational.
We have sought out counselors and leadership who come recommended, with validated references, and who have passed all required background checks. We only want the best of the best working with our campers, ensured through training and providing competitive pay to all our staff. During the week, your campers will stay engaged with a minimum of a 5:1 camper/counselor ratio. Each camper team will travel with their dedicated counselor to stations led by additional session leaders.
Camp Hours: 8:30am - 1pm
Perks & Details: Every camper will receive a tee shirt and snack is included each day! Campers pack their own lunch.
