Thank you to Sandy Harris, Vega’s Program Director, for sharing her perspective as together we all countdown to an incredibly special, and long awaited for, 2021 summer. Summer 2021 marks two big personal milestones. First, it will be my 20th summer working at Camp Vega (even though I was able to visit last summer, it […]
For the past several years members of the Camp Vega family from the greater Westchester County, NY area have gathered together on Giving Tuesday for a fun night of “speed food packing” to benefit the non-profit organization, Feeding Westchester, and battle local food insecurity. This event has provided an opportunity for Vega campers, staff and families […]
Over the past ten years, we have received inquiries from camper alumni, staff alumni and their families, asking if they could donate money to a scholarship or campership fund. These people wanted to help a stranger experience something that they know can improve their lives, and their families’ lives. Some of these donation inquiries were […]
Dear Vega, Have you ever had the experience of opening your email and seeing one that is entirely unexpected in the most wonderful way? We had that experience a few weeks ago when we received this unsolicited letter from Vega alumna, Jimena Estevez (2005-2011). She is currently studying Business Administration and Economics at Universidad Iberoamericana […]

We are committed to continuing to enrich and bring our Vega community together from […]
Dear Vega, When I woke up this morning in our cabin, Moosehead, it was around 4:00am. I was alone in the bottom bunk of our boys’ bunkbed after a somewhat successful “family sleepover.” Kyle, Paxton and Cameron were still sound asleep together in the other room where I had left them hours earlier. Instead of […]
Dear Vega 2020, There are no words to express the newfound depth of love, pride and gratitude we have for the immense strength, trust and patience you have shown over the past two months. We come to you today with heart wrenching news that only a few weeks ago was unimaginable. We have made the […]
We know how fortunate we are in our lives, from basic needs and a healthy family, to a fulfilling profession and a loving Vega community. We work hard to appreciate what we have and recognize others in need. Our mission is to live by the Vega Values and traditions to create a fun, safe and […]
We are always looking for ways to give back to our communities with the Camp Vega family and live by the Vega Values. During the summer girls have performed at a local senior living facility and shared letters from campers with the residents. Throughout the year we have come together for the MS Walk in NYC, various charity […]
