Campsite - Camp Vega

Going back to 2017 for this Throwback Thursday

Back for her fifth year, and our new Director of Swim - Melanie O'Neil!

Empathy is a skill that allows us to put ourselves in other peoples’ shoes and connect with how they might be feeling. At Vega, it is of the utmost importance that everyone feels included, loved and accepted. And in the absence of screens, texting and online social media, campers increase their capacity for empathy by communicating face to face. With empathy, we can understand and respect each other, and is an important reason why the Vega community is a safe and loving one where special friendships can be made.

Looking forward to long summer days filled with laughter, fun, and new memories!

Throwback Thursday! Taking it back to 2015!

Our mission is to live by the Camp Vega Values and traditions to create a fun, safe and inclusive experience where girls develop friendships and skills, and have the opportunity to be their true selves. We live by these values at Vega: Believe In Yourself Build Unity Live With Integrity... Choose Gratitude Have Empathy We are proud of the values we stand by and help instill in our campers every summer

Thank you to Sandy Harris, our longtime Program Director, for sharing her thoughts in this weeks blog. We are excited to have your daughters as campers this year!

Throwback Thursday! We love when former campers come back to be part of the Vega family as staff! Bringing with them all the traditions, respect and loyalty to our Vega Values! This great picture was taken at our 8 year jacket Sunset Circle with the always lovely Linda.

Gratitude is a choice and it takes practice. We believe that happiness leads to success (not the other way around) and the research is mounting that gratitude makes you happier. Gratitude has an important role at camp because we learn to make the most of our short time together and not take anything for granted. From appreciating the beauty of the lake and the smells of pine, to acknowledging how lucky we are to spend our days with friends doing fun and exciting activities, we encourage each other to focus on the positive and expend energy on thinking about all the good in our lives. We are so thankful that we will see our Vega family this summer!

Back for her 13th summer, our incredible Gymnastics Director, Christine (Poppins) Barnard! Welcome back Poppins
