"I've been in two camps in Mexico and several in the US and Canada, but Valle Verde has been the best in every possible way."

Why Valle Verde?
Why Camp Valle Verde?


There is no doubt that the camp world in Mexico has grown in the last years, and today there are many options to choose from. Not all camps have the same characteristics nor they offer the same qualities.

Below is a list of questions to help you decide if our camps are right for you. Some of them are by suggestion of several camp associations; others are questions we think are the most important when making this kind of decision for your children.

 


What is Camp Valle Verde's experience?

Valle Verde began operating as a Summer Camp in 1987. We've made more than 300 camps, where more than 20,000 young people have participated. Since 1998, Camp Valle Verde is a member of the Mexican Camp Association.

You can find more information about the experience we have as a camp in our section Welcome, and you can also check our Directors' background and experience in the section Key Staff.

What are the policies regarding health and safety?

The paramount concern to Camp Valle Verde is the safety and well being of each camper. With an excellent camper to counselor ratio, a continuous program of activities, constant supervision, a highly trained, caring staff and an exceptional team of coordinators and directors, we provide every one of our campers with a safe, fun and successful camp experience.

You can find more information in these sections: Health & Safety, Staff, and Camp Program.

What is Valle Verde's philosophy? Is the program fairly structured? Does the camp foster growth?

Valle Verde is a place where people meet and grow. It provides people with great opportunities and strong friendships forged in an open and caring community.

If you want more information about this, you can check the sections Philosophy and Camp Program.

Is the camp fun? What activities do the campers do?

The camp schedule is always different, and we make sure that it always include new activities, where whe design special and creative environments. The campers return home really happy, with a lot of new experiences and very special new friends.

The program of activities is very unique, and it has been developed by our staff and directors in a way that the activities, pacing, structure, interaction and procedures promote the fun, growth and development of the campers. We give special atention to a healthy interaction and the reinforcemento of positive aspects of the lifestyle and values of our culture.

You can learn more in the sections Camp Program, Activities and Clubs.

What do the directors look for in hiring counselors? Who are they? What is their training?

The counselors are the foundation of any camp and safety is directly linked to their skills. When we hire a counselor we are very aware that the moment your child walks in the cabin they want to be exactly like their counselor. We have staffing, training, supervision and evaluation procedures designed to ensure a great eduactional experience for everyone.

You can find more information on the politics and procedures related to the Camp Valle Verde staff in our section Staff.
