An Inside Look

Contra Costa County

Opportunity Camp works directly with the Contra Costa County Department of Social Services & Volunteer and Emergency Services Team in Action (VESTIA, Inc.) to provide free camperships to children who truly need it. No camper is discriminated against on the basis of race, color, age, sex, belief, national origin, or handicap. For information regarding East/Central or West County, please contact: Ann Struthers Coordinator.

Volunteer and Emergency Services Team in Action (VESTIA, Inc.), a non-profit corporation composed completely of volunteers, raises money and obtains donated goods and services to provide supplemental support to clients when no other resources are available.
