A Typical Day at Camp

A Typical Day at Camp

Camp Rio Vista (Boys) and Camp Sierra Vista (Girls) share one property, and schedules are carefully coordinated between both camps. Every morning the girls will raise the flag to start the day, and the boys lower it at the end. As the boys finish breakfast, the girls are on to their first activity of the day. At the end of the day, both camps participate in their own evening program.

Camp is not just a nice way to spend your summer. Camp is a "Life Changing Event", it exposes kids to new adventures, new learning opportunities and new friends in a wholesome environment. With so much going on in the world and with so much influence in social media, camp brings back the core values, principles and activities that we all enjoyed as kids... Camp Rio Vista is that place that touches your life and makes you a better human, a better person, and a better friend.

Summer Fun, Filled Full to the Brim

Summer Fun, Filled Full to the Brim

As you can see, we really hit the ground running from the moment the day begins. Everyone starts off with a healthy breakfast, and then it’s off to the first activity periods of the day. Things slow down around lunch time, before ramping back up as we head into dinner. After another delicious meal, there’s an evening program to wind down before lights out. Then, we do it all over again.

Days at camp are jam-packed, and that’s by design! We want to make sure our campers have a fun-filled summer away from home, and we need your help to make that happen. Come be a part of the Vista Camps family this summer, and let’s have a blast!
