Van Buren Youth Camp Board of Directors

Van Buren Youth Camp is a co-ed, residential summer camp program on Great Bear Lake in Bloomingdale Michigan.  We are situated among forests with streams, wetlands, hiking trails, and a shoreline along the lake for swimming, canoeing and kayaking.  Our Leadership program is the longest continuously running program in the state of Michigan and has helped thousands of young people develop their leadership potential.  The volunteers recruited from this program are the back bone of our camp program as they spend 24 hours a day with our campers helping them to experience the VBYC program in a positive way.

Our only annual fundraiser, Campfest, has become a fun addition to our summer season.  Families come together to enjoy the day, explore camp, and create their own tradtions.
