Lowes Island Summer Camp


Village Green Day Camp memories are filled with friendship, teamwork, excitement, music, art, exploration, and adventure!

At Village Green, our goal is to provide a fun and enriching camp experience in a relaxed, safe setting. We help our campers become happy, independent children so they can build the special memories that only a strong camp experience can provide!  


We take a theme-based approach that is carefully  organized with activities to broaden your child’s camp experience.
