WHAT WE DO

Camp Vacamas was originally founded in 1924. Since that time our programs have evolved to reflect a changing world. But our underlying philosophy of fostering individuality in a caring environment, while providing exciting and challenging summer adventures, remains the same. The lessons of generations of summers translates into the knowledge to make each summer special for each and every child. Programs as diverse and individual as our campers are designed to develop skills and create memories that last a lifetime.
