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 […]
The pandemic has forced us to think outside the box as we strive to stay productive and find positive and healthy experiences for our families. As we gear up to provide the most special summer possible for Vega girls and staff, we see so many new opportunities as a result of preparing for every scenario […]
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 […]
Dear Vega, Have you ever had the experience of opening your email and seeing one that is entirely unexpected in the most wonderful way?

Instead of […]
Dear Vega Family, We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and words of comfort we have received from so many of you over the loss of our 2020 Summer. “Thank you” does not come close to expressing how we feel. As we move forward in our new reality we are developing new ways to […]
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 […]
