VIP 8th Annual Summer Camp
More Than a Camp. A Life-Changing Experience.
At VIP, we don’t just teach service—we ignite compassion. This is where your teen’s eyes open to the real world, where hearts expand, and where everyday heroes are born.
We partner with organizations supporting individuals with special needs, developmental disorders, hospitalized children, foster youth, and low-income families. Your teen won’t just learn about these communities—they’ll work alongside them, connect with them, and discover the incredible power they have to create change.
Transform Summer Into Impact
Our Sleep-Away Summer Service Project isn’t your typical camp experience. It’s a journey into empathy, compassion, and meaningful action. With multiple weeks available, teens dive deep into hands-on service, partnering with local organizations and our foundation to make a tangible difference.
The result? Up to 100 hours of community service, countless unforgettable moments, and a transformed perspective on what it means to give back.
This summer, don't just send your teen to camp. Send them on a mission that matters.
