Vermilion Valley FCA

Since 2000, we've been providing entering 3rd – 8th graders in the community an incredible co-ed sports day camp experience completely free of charge in Champaign. In 2016, we expanded to a second camp in Urbana. In 2021, due to continuing COVID restrictions, we got creative and hosted two camps at Judah's facilities - one outdoor multisport camp and one basketball only. While we haven't had a "typical summer" in a while, day camp generally draws between 700 - 1,000 campers and 150 volunteers from all walks of life. It's likely the most socially and racially diverse camp in Champaign County. Each day includes solid athletic training from local High School coaches & collegiate athletes, dynamic assembly speakers, and Biblical discussions led by high school FCA athletes.

We're exited to be back at Centennial High School this summer - where camp began 22 years ago!

While camp is free to attendees, it actually costs approximately $75,000 in resources between facilities, planning, staffing, etc. In order to continue providing this awesome experience free of charge, we are looking for sponsors to fund this life-changing week.
