Thank you for your question! Sports Camp fees are now posted on this page. Let us know if you have additional questions. See you in June!
How much is Sports Camp in June for a boy who has completed 4th grade?
Can you tell me more about Swim Camp? I’m not finding a link to more information.
Lauren – you can choose the program that you would like to do. This choice allows you to still come to camp with friends, even if some of your friends are older or younger than you.
in june, i will be completing 9th grade; should i go to camp as an explorer or sojourner?
Yes, Jodi. Family camps are running at the same time this year.
Are both camps really having family camps the same week?
You can come to Senior High Camp. Check out http://vlmcamps.org/10th-12th-grade/ for more information. I hope you can come! Otherwise, you can get some family together and come to Family Camp.
I’m 16 goin into 11th grade what camp can I go to? And lost is not an option because of my job.
We consider the “Member” rate for camp as being a member of one of the VLM Corporate Congregations. A complete list is available under our “VLM People” tab as “Member Churches”

@Lynne Kellerman- You can find the prices for Family Camp at http://VLMcamps.org/family-camp/. We look forward to seeing you this summer!
@Shannon Johnson- We are taking a break from Houseboat trips this year due to declining interest. We have expanded our Voyageurs Canoe Country programs and have more options for groups. Please check out http://canoe.VLMcamps.org or email marie@VLMcamps.org for more information.
Looking to rent a houseboat for my Youth Group grades 7th-12th. Do you have anything available for us?
We are definitely interested in family camp again this year. Planing to bring a 7th grader, 5th grader, 4th grader, 3rd grader and 2nd grader. These are their current ages. We are senior citizens (2). What is the cost for each of us?
I am not finding the houseboat camp schedule. Could you point me in the right direction. Thanks!
Yes, We do have space. There is also an updated “Space Left” page on our web at http://vlmcamps.org/camper-space-left/.
Thank you and have a wonderful day~
Can you tell me if you have any openings for the half pint day on July 28th for a female entering 1st grade? I would like to register her if you do. Thanks!
