Here at Camp Vincent, we offer themed weeks, and when we say "themed weeks" we mean "welcome to living in a movie". When we choose themes, we also write and execute our own story lines from scratch. We've "fought" dragons, saved heroes, shrunk, time traveled, set world records, and so much more. Every week is unique with our themes and story lines.

Although we offer a variety of high quality summer activities for a wide range of ages, the main attraction at Camp Vincent is most definitely our weekly themes and programming. Each week is designed our and tailored to a specific theme, story line, and set of characters. The themes will include twists, turns, and unique interactions with those characters! It can be easily equated to watching a theatrical play with all of the actors and showmanship, except that our campers are not simply watching! Campers are called to participate and interact with the story line, often driving it's conclusion. Sometimes the conclusion is dependent entirely on their actions - we may not even know how the story will end!
Camp programming becomes a part of the story as it immerses each camper into a highly imaginative world! Each week will bring a new story, plot, or mission set in place for the whole camp! It will be our campers' role to finish the story, solve the mystery, or complete the mission before the unthinkable happens!
This aspect of camp is by far one of the most effective community and team-building tools we have come across. Campers are given a sense of pride and ownership when gaining information, solving riddles, and effectively saving the day on their own!
For our older campers in the LIT program, they are often given opportunities to play characters and roles within the story, along side our staff! Staff are always ready to guide and encourage the development of their mentor and leadership skills as they interact with our younger campers on a whole new level!
