What is a typical day at Camp Victory like?
Although each camp coming to Camp Victory is unique, there are common daily aspects. Each morning, campers wake up in cabins shared with buddies and counselors and head to the dining hall for breakfast. Campers then begin morning activities with their group. Activities may include: archery, zip lining, fishing or the climbing wall. Then it’s lunch time.. Afterwards, there might be a little down time, but then it’s back to more great activities like arts and crafts, swimming and paddle boating.
After a fun-filled, busy day, campers enjoy dinner with the whole camp. Then they head back to their cabins and prepare for night activities. Everyone comes together for these activities that can include a campfire, a dance, talent shows, carnivals or parties! Then, back to the cabins; it’s lights out and a great night’s sleep. Tomorrow starts another busy, fun day!

Who cares for campers' needs?
Partner camp groups at Camp Victory have their own counselors who live with campers in our cabins. The counselors make sure campers are safe, and have everything a camper may need. These counselors are volunteers for the partner camps, who work hard to make sure that campers have a great experience.
Among these volunteers, medical staff are also present. These professionals ensure that any/all specialized care needed is provided. This includes managing medication and prescriptions, general first aid and other needs required for the specific camps that they are associated with.
