Bunk Life

Campers and a counselor relax inside a bright cabin with beds and personal belongings.

Your summer home

Your bunk is where you get ready for the day, catch up with friends, and settle in at night. It’s where familiar routines, shared laughter, and little moments together help camp begin to feel like home.

Bring your favorite bedding, a stuffed animal, and pictures of the people you love. Vega’s cabins have bathrooms, electricity, ceiling fans, and space for your belongings—and plenty of room to make memories.

Caring counselors, everyday support

Counselors live alongside campers and help with the everyday details that make a difference: putting on sunscreen, caring for hair, keeping track of belongings, and getting ready for bed.

They also get to know each girl—when she could use encouragement, when something is on her mind, and when she’s ready to do a little more for herself. Campers build independence with caring adults nearby to guide and support them.

At least three counselors live in every bunk. Each age group has a group leader, with additional support from non-bunk staff.

Learning to live together

Four campers hold hands and jump together outside their cabin at Camp Vega.

Sharing a bunk is an important part of camp. Girls practice including one another, respecting someone else’s space, taking care of their shared home, and talking through disagreements.

Those things take practice. Counselors and Group Leaders help campers navigate the ups and downs of living together, recognize how their choices affect others, and become thoughtful bunkmates and friends.

Between busy days and evening activities, there is also time for the simple things: reading, talking, laughing, and enjoying being together. These everyday moments often become some of the memories girls treasure most.

Growing up at Vega

Each summer brings new experiences and opportunities to grow. Eventually, our oldest campers move into Tamary, where the entire age group lives together. As leaders of camp, they help plan special events and carry forward traditions they have grown up loving.
