In Silicon Valley, the high cost of $500 per week of youth camps renders them inaccessible to 35% of lower-income families, highlighting a significant affordability issue. Additionally, less than 5% of these camps are equipped to serve children with physical disabilities, pointing to a severe gap in accessibility. Compounding these challenges, 60% of the area's youth spend over four hours daily on electronic devices, indicating a critical need for more engagement in outdoor activities.
"Outdoors, children and families learn freely through personal exploration, not lessons."
Vince Staub is the Chair of the Board of YMCA Camp Campbell. He has been serving on the Board since 2005.

Vince spent three decades in various Risk and Compliance roles in the high-tech sector. Today, he is a risk management consultant and a management and executive Coach.
"Our goal is to make Camp Campbell a place where every visit leaves a lasting impression, where every child can say they've discovered something new about the world and themselves."
"Seeing families disconnect from digital distractions and reconnect with each other in the beauty of nature is one of the most rewarding aspects of our work."
