VYR is open to students in grades 4–11

VYR is held at Camp Allen in Navasota, Texas, a beautiful retreat campsite located about an hour from Houston.

Campers stay in onsite cabins at Camp Allen, with campers separated by grade and gender. Each cabin has its own attached bathroom for the campers staying in that cabin.For added supervision and support, there are at least two counselors assigned to each cabin with the campers. Counselors stay with their campers throughout the camp and help ensure everyone feels comfortable, supported, and safe.

Campers are provided with five meals throughout the day to keep them fueled for all of the activities at VYR.Each day includes:BreakfastLunchAfternoon SnackDinnerDessertAll meals and snacks are 100% vegetarian.

VYR is a phone-free camp. Campers do not keep their phones or personal devices with them during the camp. This allows campers to unplug from their everyday routines, be fully present, and focus on building friendships, participating in activities, and enjoying the camp experience. Incase of emergencies, you can contact the VYR leadership team, and we will assist.

To help campers stay fully immersed in the VYR experience, we do not allow parent or family visits during camp. This gives campers the opportunity to unplug, build independence, form friendships, and fully participate in all that VYR has to offer.If you’re interested in being part of VYR as a volunteer, volunteer opportunities will open closer to camp. Sign-ups and additional information will be available on our website when registration opens.
