2024 VIP Summer Camp Application - North Fairfax

The VIP Summer Program will be held in-person at Herndon Middle School (901 Locust St. Herndon, VA 20170) this summer!  Rising 7th and 8th graders residing in Fairfax County in boundaries for the follow middle schools are invited to register: Carson, Cooper, Herndon, Hughes & Longfellow.

Program Details:

  • Monday, July 1 - Thursday, August 1 (no camp on July 4 and 5)
  • Mondays - Fridays, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM (site is available at 8:00 AM for drop-offs)

Registration - Space in VIP is limited.  Though timing of registration is a factor, it is not solely a first come, first serve acceptance process.  We consider a variety of factors when processing applications to provide a balanced camp (such as, but not limited to: number of participants per middle school, grade level, registration timing, participant availability, etc.).  An email notification of acceptance status will be sent to your email provided after you complete this registration form.  After you complete this registration, please make sure you make your VIP Payment through MySchoolBucks to secure your spot.

VIP Camp costs $100 to attend. Reach out to your school's After-School Specialist for scholarship availability due to financial hardship.  

Field Trips: We will take approximately 3-5 field trips throughout the summer.  There is a cost for students to attend the field trips.  The field trip fees will cover admission costs and bus transportation.  Field trip information will be available by the parent meeting on June 24, 2024 @ 6:30 PM.  The field trip fees need to be paid for in cash, check or through MySchoolBucks.  Fees will be collected in advance and will not be accepted the day of the trip. Please speak with your After-School Specialist if financial assistance is required.  To maintain safe staff to student ratios, we will send all staff members on the field trips and none will remain at the VIP site.  If your student chooses not to attend a field trip, please make alternate plans as sites will be closed that day.  

There will be a mandatory parent meeting on Monday, June 24 at 6:30 PM at Herndon Middle School and Zoom.  We will review all camp activities, field trips, procedures, and introduce some of our camp staff. The link will be sent out prior to the meeting date.

Participants should plan on bringing the following to camp every day:

  • Bagged Lunch - we may be providing lunch but this has not yet been confirmed - we will notify families during the parent meeting on June 24.
  • Snacks (optional)
  • Water Bottle (Label with your child’s full name) 
  • Hand Sanitizer (optional)
