Her interests. New possibilities.

At Vega, structure and choice go hand in hand. Each girl has an individual schedule that makes room for what she loves and something she has never tried—with encouraging instructors and familiar faces from her bunk or age group.

From the waterfront and playing fields to the stage, art studios, and riding ring, there’s so much to discover. Explore the Activities dropdown in our menu to take a closer look at each program.

Different interests, a shared camp rhythm

Before camp, families choose activities together and we create and share individual schedules for each camper. 

  • Finishing grades 1–5: Choose seven activities + swimming, tennis, and landsports with their age group 
  • Finishing grades 6–9: Choose ten activities.

Counselors and group leaders help girls settle into their schedules and check that they’re enjoying their choices. Adjustments can be made during the first few days or with parents on Visiting Day. Let us know about any interests you’d like to discuss, including extra practice or private instruction.

Room for more

Evening activities, bunk time, and special events give girls opportunities to explore beyond their schedules. There’s time to build skills, try something unexpected, and simply have fun with friends.
