Beginning June 18 and ending August 24, School-Age Adventure Camp takes place in the fields and forests of the campus of Virginia Wesleyan College. Rising 1st through 5th graders will enjoy a summer of sunshine, activity and friendship. We concentrate on building relationships between the counselor and camper. Your child will be a part of a small group led by a well-trained, caring counselor. The mission of the YMCA is to put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. We carry out our mission one child at a time. In keeping with YMCA principles, we believe a child's spiritual experience is vitally important in developing character. Camp Red Feather campers begin and end their day with devotions and have an opportunity for small group values time.
