Biking
In the biking program, you will participate in either a 12 day starter program which features a 3 day off camp biking trip or a 19 day program which is a 6 day off camp trip in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. You will cycle up to 40 miles per day taking in the local sights, visiting state parks and the renowned Green Dragon Market. On camp you will be living in a 4 person Lean-to cabin with access to external hot and cold water facilities. Meals will be prepared by campers over an open camp fire. The first week of camp will prepare you for the trip practicing the skills necessary for the trip.
To participate in this program, YOU MUST BE ABLE TO RIDE A BIKE.
Safety
Our number one priority is the safety of your child. We maintain a high staff-to-camper ratio, and our experienced staff members are background-checked, fully trained and carefully supervised. Camp Vacamas is accredited by the American Camp Association, as well as local and state Health Departments. We have an onsite medical team, and there is a hospital just minutes away. All waterfront activities are conducted by certified American Red Cross Swim Instructors, Lifeguards, and a Waterfront Director.
Affordability
As a non-profit organization, HI4Y’s aim is to make sure that summer camp is affordable for all children. Each child’s fee is set individually, taking into account family income and size and using a sliding fee scale. Our fees are a great deal less than other summer programs, and sibling discounts are available.
At Camp Vacamas, our fees for 19 day sessions range from $900 to $2,000 per session for a full compliment of comprehensive services and activities. Transportation to camp is provided from NYC, Westchester and selected locations in New Jersey at no additional cost. This includes a daily pick-up and drop-off bus service for our day campers in West Milford and the surrounding area.
