Summer Camps

VISION Summer Camp is an award-winning summer camp that is guaranteed to be a grand experience for all VISIONary Campers. During the summer, we work hard to provide a plethora of activities that will open the mind of our VISIONaries, provide opportunities for them to explore and engage in the world around them in an innovative manner. We keep the VISIONaries learning in an exciting way, negating the negative effects of summer learning loss, while building character and confidence.

Summer 2018, we completely restructured our summer camp to a STEM summer camp. This summer, VISIONaries will work with green screens to create mini movies, learn coding, build and program drones and robots, all while still having many opportunities for science exploration in the fields of chemistry, animal science, and physics. 

We work behind the scenes and on the scenes to ensure the absolute best for the youth we serve.
