Our Family Weekend Camps are designed for the whole family. These programs run from Friday night to Sunday afternoon and provide the opportunity for families to explore the magic of Camp together!
2024 Fall Schedule
VJ Family Weekend (General Session): September 6-8
Golden Ticket Family Weekend: September 20-22**
*Flu shots are required for this program.
**Golden Tickets mean all things new at VJ! We want to extend a special invitation to all families who have never attended a VJ program and/or those that have never attended a family weekend.

How to Apply
For a Family Camp application, each person interested in attending camp (child and adult alike), needs to apply as a camper and have their own application completed within your Parent Dashboard. This checklist will help with the breakdown of all needs for the different applications per person.
Step 1: Create or Access Your Victory Junction Profile
New Families: Start an application here.
● Under “Camper Information”, answer the basic questions about your child with a qualifying diagnosis then click the grey “Add Camper“ button.
● Repeat these basic questions for EACH family member who is applying for the weekend camp opportunity (including sibling and parent/guardian).
● Fill out your family’s basic questions (parent contact information, home address, etc.).
● Click on the “Continue to Enrollment Options” to move on to Step 2.
Returning Families: Start an application here.
● Log in to Parent Dashboard.
● Click on the “Enrollment Tab” on the left-hand side to view your family members’ individual profiles.
● Ensure ALL your family members who are applying for the weekend opportunity have a pre-existing profile.
● To add additional family member(s), click the green box labeled “Add Camper” on the right-hand side.
● Fill out the basic questions for any additional family member(s) who is applying for the weekend opportunity.
PLEASE READ: Once you finish Step 1, you have completed your family profile including a profile for EACH family member. Follow Step 2 for each family member whose profile has been created above. Please do not forget this step, or we might not see your application in our database.

Friendly Reminders
All four steps of the application must be submitted for each individual in order to be considered. You will receive an “Application Complete” email from Camper Admissions within 2-3 business days of submitting the application. This email will indicate that the application is currently being processed by the medical team.
Due to the high quantity of applications being submitted, please give Camper Admissions 2-3 business days to sort through submitted applications and respond with an email.
Decisions will be communicated to families one month prior to the arrival date. All applicants will receive a decision email of some kind.
Unfortunately, Victory Junction may not be able to accommodate all who apply to camp. While we would love to serve all applicants, we receive several applications for a limited number of slots to offer. If your camper is put on the waitlist, you will be notified if a camp opportunity becomes available. Please hold all calls/emails regarding the waitlist as we cannot tell you where your child is on the list.
This is an application process. Acceptance is not guaranteed.
If you have any questions, we encourage you to email us at camperadmissions@victoryjunction.org or call us at 336.495.2002.
