Our Values

In this ever-changing and often challenging world, a positive summer camp experience is so important for the development of children both socially and emotionally.
We encourage our campers to try new things and build relationships with those around them. Our passionate and compassionate staff work to build confidence in our campers as they explore the many activities we offer. We take pride in our ability to make a positive impression on the lives of our campers and influence their growth as human beings.

The camps at GVOLC are committed to creating and maintaining a community of respect for all individuals regardless of ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender identity, ideology, income, national origin, race, or sexual orientation.
By registering for camp, you agree to partake in this community that nourishes the self-worth and inherent dignity of each person and to provide a welcoming space that fosters the growth of all individuals who participate in our camp programming every summer.
