We strive to create a safe, caring environment where participants expand their horizons, make friends, and achieve personal growth through age-appropriate activities. All classes are designed to be fun for participants, as well as to improve academic, artistic, and/or physical skills.

When & Where Is Camp Discovery?Camp Discovery 2019 runs June 3 through July 26.

2019 Summer Youth Day Camps

VSU Campus Recreation Youth Camp programs provide a fun and safe environment where youth are encouraged to develop an appreciation of recreation, the outdoors and being part of a community. Our programs are currently for kids aged 6-12 years at the start of their week of camp. We view camp as a unique opportunity for children to experience fun and exciting activities. During our inaugural 2018 season we served more than 200 youth, helping them find new friends, experience new activities and enjoy their summer! Come find out what the fun is all about!
