  • 2026 Austins Graduation Party

    James, Mom, and Dad joined Austins family and friends in wishing him a happy and successful graduation.

  • VIP Camp Party 2026

    We had the final day party at VIP camp and it was a fun one. Plenty of bowling and Mom and Dad said that they are going to bowl the next time. Lunch was served and it was pizza and french fries along with cookies and drinks. James got a small photo album with pictures of their adventures which we have to scan in and add later.

    James had a blast and got to see his friends one last time before moving on with summer. James plans on tutoring one of the campers at their parents request so maybe some of this college education is starting to pay off.

    James did not miss a day of class or a day of camp, he managed his time very well!

  • Lincoln Park Christmas Fantasyland 2025

    Its that time of year again as we all visited Fantasyland in Lincoln Park. James actually walked to the event as he is trying to walk 5 miles each day and doing a very good job at it. Once he got close he called Mom and Dad and we left to join him.

    James saw plenty of his VIP friends and actually got a ride home with one of his friends family as he wanted to stay longer. On the way home he stopped off at Target and brought home some chocolate covered cherries for the family.

    As usual, Santa was there and as is the tradition James showed him how he was doing in school, they only one who brought paperwork to his visit.

    Thanks to VIP camp for setting this up as it was alot of fun.

  • VIP Camp Party 2025

    The annual finale to another great season of VIP Camp came to a conclusion with a party at the local bowling alley. Plenty of games and fun for all the campers and their hosts. James got to do plenty of bowling and this year the parents had a chance to bowl as well if they like. Mom and Dad decided against joining into the bowling as it has been decades since they have.

    The competition between the campers and their parents were competitive this year and I think the parents actually even won a race. All attending had a blast and a big thanks to the VIP camp counselors who put on another great show and a great time was had by all!

  • VIP Camp Party 2024

    Another season of VIP Camp has come to a successful conclusion. James and his friends had a blast this year and we look forward to seeing the participants again in the future as this season just seemed to whip on by. Plenty of activities and games including the annual bowling extravaganza!

  • VIP Camp Visits Kudos

    VIP Camp had an excellent day of activities including bowling at a great complex called Kudos on Pardee road before Eureka.

    In addition to bowling their was arcade games for the kids, plenty of room for parties, and plenty of food. Activities such as the afore mentioned bowling, ping pong, and pickle ball are available along with some bizarre ones. Some of the more bizarre games included Axe Throwing and Football bowling.

    The menu included hot food such as wings and pizza along with salads and Mac and Cheese.

    We were very impressed with this facility and would suggest it to anyone looking for a place to host a party not only for children but for adults. (more…)

  • Bowling With VIP Camp 2024

    James had his first VIP camp activity today at the bowling alley. This puts the final stamp on his Christmas/Winter vacation as he will be starting school Monday. James was losing by 22 but came back with a spare and a strike to make it close (he lost only by two), however the fun was not in winning the bowling game but in seeing all his friends from summer camp.

    Around a dozen campers showed up for the bowling and some of the talk was how Michigan would do in the National Championship game on Monday, should be alot of fun.

    One of the staff was a volunteer from France during their exchange period and James had a chance to practice his French.

  • Christmas Fantasyland 2023

    Unfortunately James had a class at nearly the same time as the VIP camp Christmas Fantasyland. Rather than miss it, James and Dad left early and were able to attend for about ten minutes before heading on to his class at the Mike Illitch School of Business in Detroit (Fantasyland was in Lincoln Park near an exit so James made it to school on time, although it was close).

    James got to say hi to several counselors and a few friends from VIP camp and also got his picture taken with Santa, which has been a tradition since he was little.

    Thanks to VIP camp for putting on a great event for the campers!

  • 2023 VIP Camp Party

    Its hard to believe that VIP camp is already over as we just celebrated their end of season party. James has been going here since he was about 8 or 9 so its been at least a decade of VIP camp for James in the summer. Once again it was held at the bowling alley so both parents and campers could bowl if they wanted. After the bowling time we were served pizza, pop, salads, and sweets – A pretty decent spread. Once the food was served, the campers received their photo books and friendly competitive games were played between the campers and their parents. James was the coach for the campers team and Nick was the captain of the parents team. A great time was had by all.

  • 2023 VIP Camp Bowling (UV)

    VIP Camp continues to plan things once a month for its campers, and this month had a special treat, a bowling outing but not just a bowling outing but a bowling outing in an ultraviolet setting. The lanes were all lit up and the bowling alley looked pretty spectacular (or at least as spectacular as a bowling alley can get in this day and age).

    James bowled very well and had one of his highest games. A great time was had by all and we are all looking forward to the summer VIP camp which is rapidly approaching.

    James took advantage of this outing to turn in his deposit for camp via check, thus saving himself a stamp. Maybe all those business classes he is taking in college are starting to pay off!
