Camp Viva has been operating since 2014 as a summer camp for elementary and middle schoolers who have the power to craft their day. Children are able to focus on a core specialty— sports, crafts, painting, STEAM, or drama — and fill the rest of their day with fun activities from other specialties. This way, campers get a taste of everything and (hopefully) try new things!

Camp Viva's mission can be broken into three distinct goals:

  • To provide a safe environment where children feel comfortable trying new things.

  • To create a fun atmosphere where positive social skills are modeled and practiced.

  • To encourage the belief in the Growth Mindset:  all children are capable of acquiring new skills by working hard, having fun and learning from each new experience.
