CHOOSING ACTIVITIES
Below you will find both a Schedule and Activity Descriptions.Study both carefully BEFORE you fill out the Camp VIP application.
HELPFUL HINTS IN SELECTING AN ACTIVITY:
The Schedule is divided into weeks. Each week is also divided into three age-groups (K - 2, Grades 3-5, Grades 6 - 8). Each age group then has numerous activity block choices.(note: when three classes are listed in a block (eg. ARTIST STUDIO/MUSIC/HOPSCOTCH) each activity is a one hour class. All other activities are three-hour classes.
Most applicants find it easiest to first determine the week (or weeks) when the applicant wishes to attend Camp VIP, then the age-appropriate activity block, then review the activity descriptions for that block. It is often helpful to make a note of the activity (or activities) chosen, so that one can conveniently make the choices when filling out the VIP application.
Up-To-Date registration Information available here or email Camp VIP Information:
