VHFLC Summer Camp Photo Diary

Want to see what our summer camps have been up to these past couple weeks? Take a peek! 

This year, VHFLC is offering a new degree of freedom for our campers, allowing them to choose the interest clubs and activities that they want to explore on a weekly basis. In addition to swimming and field trips, over the course of the next seven weeks, our K-4th grade camp sites will be delving deep into the areas of STEM, Creation, Fortitude, and Self Expression, and learning from experts about everything from bug dissection to camping skills, to yoga, chemical reactions and ceramics.

Here you'll see a selection of images taken over the course of the past two weeks at one of our K-4th grade camp sites, Capitol Hill, and at our adventure-based Challenge Camp for entering 5th-8th graders. Be sure to check in next time for updates and more pics from our sites!

One of Capitol Hill's first projects was to make super handy camping first aid kits.

Such a great team effort.
