Photos taken at the camp are sent out weekly in a Google Drive.

Children are expected to behave the same way they would in a school environment.

Bullying is not tolerated at NVSA and our staff has been trained to identify and prevent bullying behavior. If a child engages in outbursts, physical/verbal abuse to other NVSA campers/staff, NVSA has the right to remove that child from camp. We will do our best to work with your family to prevent removal from camp.
