Hands In 4 Youth - Home of Vacamas Camps

Best camp I’ve ever been to had the most best activities and you can pick which ever activity you want to do no phones allowed just enjoying life and nature 24/7 loved it which I can do it all over again amazing experience

We are a Christina organization that was looking to hold a youth retreat at this location. Where to start when writing this review! It was the staff for me! Chelsea, AJ, Mandy deserve to be mentioned for their attention to detail and care for the group that went this past weekend 3/3-3/5. We had a group of about 170 people (give or take) and everyone was well taken care of. We opted for the option to cook our own food for the weekend, but we were helped and given access to so much, which helped our organization run smoothly. Everyone was very impressed with the cleanliness of all cabins that were used (including the gym). I couldn't be more pleased with HI4Y, and hope that they continue providing such amazing service! Special s/o to AJ and Mandy once more who were our concierges for the weekend. Thank you for being just amazing people and helping us run our camp as orderly and functional as possible. Definitely could not have done it without the 2 of you. Hope to see you all soon!

This was the best childhood experience I could have ever hoped for. From the projects in the Far Rockaway, Queens NYC Camp Vacamus saved my life in so many unimaginable ways. We received scholarships to go. These memories have brought a lifetime of joy and always a smile. Forever Grateful!!

I've been going to camp HI4Y almost my entire life. The counselors there have seen me grow in ways I still don't even see. I went there every year always something new a different about me but I guess that's one of the many reasons why I love it there so much. Camp Vacamas isn't just a ordinary camp it's a family it's a place where you could go and have fun for the sessions your there for. The camp director Lee Bell... well the campers call him crunchy is like a father to me and all the other campers. Me being a camper there outta be the best thing that has happened in my life because it taught me so many things. There are so many kids that go there in the beginning and say oh i wanna go home but at the end the say I wanna stay and that's because you have all these amazing staff. That's why next year when I graduate from high school I'm becoming a counselor at camp vacamas because honestly it's the place to be. You won't find anything else like it. You will not find a place that will welcome you with open arms the way they do."I love you guys" :) I recommend the TEENS BIKING DIVISION for KIDS 14-16 and Try and sign up for the Leaders In Training Program for ages 15-17. Best OF LUCK GUYS AND SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.
