2026 summer Gratitude

We share deep gratitude to all of our amazing staff, young mentors, families, and community members who made VWP Summer Camps possible!

Our wonderful young mentors generosity provided over 56 hours of support for summer camps. Their energy, dedication, and love for helping youth in the community connect with nature shine as bright as the summer sun! If you are or know a young teen who is looking for service hours and a fun summer experience next summer. Please fill out the Young Mentor Interest Form
