Mission: Van Buren Youth Camp is a residential Camp, which specializes, in recreational programs for young people. The program includes swimming, boating, canoeing, crafts, riflery, nature, archery, sports, initiatives, folk dancing and singing. The organization of leadership is decentralized in that areas of responsibility are assigned to Staff members and they in turn take charge of the program areas. Leadership is fostered through the involvement of a non-experienced person with a seasoned Staff member. Moreover, leadership is encouraged by allowing individuals to be responsible for certain tasks within the Camp program.
I have been attending this camp since I was 12, and have now worked there for two years. The staff is SO amazing and kind, and they constantly strive to uphold their mission. This organization has overcome the struggles of the world pandemic while still striving for greatness. I hope that everyone finds a warm and welcoming place like this that they can become a part of.
