Choosing Gratitude this Thanksgiving

These 5 values, Believe in Yourself, Build Unity, Live with Integrity, Have Empathy and Choose Gratitude are the values that each Vega camper and staff member strive to embody everyday and […]
Help us create a Camp Vega Olympic Flag!
Imagine a Vega Olympic Flag raised up the flagpole on days when Vega Olympic events take place throughout the summer! We have decided we would like to do just that and want your help to create one. We would love to see your ideas of what a Camp Vega Olympic flag might look like! If […]
Summer Camp in a TikTok World
There are moments as parents when it is hard to believe that our own kids successfully (and even happily) separate from their beloved “screens” for an entire summer at camp. It seems (and they have even stated) that they would rather spend their summer playing video games online with their friends and watching endless Youtube, […]
Tennis Anyone?
Back in 2006, we welcomed a 20 year old collegiate tennis player to camp in early June. Soon we realized that he very well may have been the kindest, most thoughtful, and dedicated guy we had ever met.

As we gear up to provide the most special summer possible for Vega girls and staff, we see so many new opportunities as a result of preparing for every scenario […]
Giving is Better than Receiving – Join Team Camp Vega (from a safe distance)!
For the past several years members of the Camp Vega family from the greater Westchester County, NY area have gathered together on Giving Tuesday for a fun night of “speed food packing” to benefit the non-profit organization, Feeding Westchester, and battle local food insecurity. This event has provided an opportunity for Vega campers, staff and families […]
The Camp Vega Foundation
Over the past ten years, we have received inquiries from camper alumni, staff alumni and their families, asking if they could donate money to a scholarship or campership fund. These people wanted to help a stranger experience something that they know can improve their lives, and their families’ lives. Some of these donation inquiries were […]
