Family Package

VA Camp’s Family Package is designed to make camp family-friendly, providing opportunities for both parents and all ages of children to participate at a discounted rate.

Parent 1

One parent participates as a full-time student, taking in the entire camp experience of chapel, classes, and choirs.

Parent 2

The second parent participates in a mixed choir. Childcare is provided during choir periods so both parents can attend.

Children

Children (ages 7 and up) are part of children’s camp which includes choir and a musical skills class tailored for their age level. Childcare will be provided for children under age 7 during the morning and afternoon choir practices. Additional opportunities for children may include participating in the adult Music Ed classes where adult campers are being shown how to teach music to children.

Early application opens December 1.
