VIP (Volunteer in Progress)
Ages 14 – 17
As a VIP, campers take the first step in becoming a Y Camp Leader. This program teaches campers about service to others. Their primary function is working in Cownie Dining Hall, where they will do dishes after each meal, clean the dining hall and help provide a great environment for the other campers on camp. When they aren’t serving others, they will take opportunities to enjoy camp and will go through several team-building exercises with their peers throughout the week. This program is a great first step into the Leadership Development Program and lays the foundation for good leadership: service.

- Heart Connection is a partner camp dedicated to supporting children and families impacted by cancer. During this week, as our partner camp takes the lead, VIPs still focus on their work in the dining hall. However, in the evenings, they’ll have greater flexibility, allowing them to collaborate and design their own schedules and plans as a group, as Heart Connection will be running their own evening programs.
- Family Camp offers a unique experience, focusing on bringing families together. While VIPs will go about their work in the kitchen as usual, evening activities will differ from the typical camp schedule.
- Summer Send-Off, our final and smaller week of overnight programming, features a "Color War"-style theme packed with challenges and competitive activities. VIPs will continue to work in the kitchen as usual but may also have opportunities to take part in the activities and challenges once their time in the kitchen is complete.
