HI4Y VISION: A world where all children, regardless of their economic and cultural environment, have opportunities and choices to pursue their dreams. 

For 100 years, Hands in 4 Youth, home of Camp Vacamas, has been lifting up at risk and underserved children, giving them experiences they never dreamed were even possible.

Hands in 4 Youth understood in 1924, and continues to understand today that exposure to experiences outside of the classroom, including sleepaway camp, can be just as important as learning calculus or memorizing time tables.

Today, Hands in 4 Youth builds on its 100-year history with a year-round calendar of programming, from summer camp to school-year retreats, to daily after school enrichment programs.

We are proud of our legacy of making memories and changing lives.
