The celebratory event drew over 5,000 people, including the racers, who came to support the girls and partake in the 12-week program’s culmination. The energy and enthusiasm exhibited by the girls defined the day. Each girl started and finished the race at her best and strongest. The Girls on the Run Program has always fit with our mission as a company dedicated to the health and well-being of Vermonters, including Vermont’s youth. As the statewide sponsor of the Girls on the Run program, we are honored to have celebrated the program’s 15th anniversary and we feel committed to supporting and promoting this program for many years to come. Seeing all of the girls cross the finish line reminded me of the value of programs like Girls on the Run. The girls will not only remember race day, but more importantly, they will remember the impact of the entire program: weeks of training and curriculum, relationship building and personal growth—and ultimately the sense of community that led them to the finish line. Not one girl did it alone. Each had the support of coaches, teammates, family, peers, community members and other supporters. BCBSVT is incredibly proud to be part of this community. To collaborate with Girls on the Run is a great privilege. In addition to providing financial support, our employees look forward to the statewide 5K events each year. In past years, some of our employees have also had the great honor of serving as Girls on the Run coaches, too. Take a note of inspiration from the Girls on the Run coaches, mentors and runners. Take time to focus on your emotional and physical well-being and support others in doing so. You are number one when you are the best and strongest that you can be. Thank you. Don George, President and CEO Yoga on Church Street As shown in the image at left, hundreds of yogis participate in the 4 5th Annual Yoga on Church Street event on August 9. We had a great time at this free community event fueling the flow with water! Vigor Summer 2015 One such way that the organization lives its mission is through onsite programming.

  • 2002 Yearbook and Annual Report
    2002 Yearbook and Annual Report Teaching individuals to take personal responsibility for all of their actions -The VYCC Mission Statement A Message from the President Dear Friends, I am pleased to report that the VYCC has never been stronger. We made it work with our extraordinary staff, board members, and volunteers who are extremely talented, committed, and a lot of fun to work with. Thank you! While this is a time when we can take great pride in our accomplishments, it is not a time when we can rest, even for a minute…the needs in our communities are greater than ever and growing, and the Thomas Hark with children Eli (left), VYCC is an important part of the answer. Zachary (middle), and newborn Rosie (right). Our mission of teaching individuals to take personal responsibility for their own actions, what one says and does, is absolutely vital and essential to creating strong and healthy communities. It is these lessons learned in the Corps that will make the difference in the years and decades to come. While it is true that we operate state parks and do incredible trail and other natural resource work, and that this work all by itself makes the VYCC vital to Vermont, the true value of this organization is what individuals learn from their experiences, and then take with them and use the rest of their lives…it is the values of respect, hard work, and personal responsibility that become imbedded in an individual after a stint in the Corps. Many people think of the VYCC as that small group who built a local trail…though few realize over 350 Staff and Corps Members were enrolled in 2002 and completed over 80,000 hours of important conservation work on 800 distinct projects in every corner of Vermont.

  • Brief Introduction Camp Plymouth State Park
    State Parks In Vermont: Brief Introduction by newsdesk Camp Plymouth State Park :The site of Camp Plymouth was at one time thought to have been used as an encampment by soldiers of the Revolutionary War in 1777. The Boy Scouts used this area until 1984 when it became a state park. Camp Plymouth State Park is located in the town of Plymouth on the east shore of Echo Lake. The total acreage is 295 acres of which 46 acres comprise the developed portion of the park. The balance (249 acres) contains hiking trails, fishing, hunting, gold panning, and primitive camping, but is largely forestry oriented. Fort Dummer State Park :The park was named after Fort Dummer, the first permanent white settlement in Vermont. Built on the frontier in 1724, it was initially the gateway to the early settlements along the banks of the Connecticut River. Forty-three English soldiers and twelve Mohawk Indians manned the fort in 1724 and 1725. Later, the fort protected what was then a Massachusetts colony from an invasion by the French and Indians. Made of sturdy white pine timber, stacked like a log cabin, Fort Dummer served its purpose well. The park overlooks the site of Fort Dummer which was flooded when the Vernon Dam was built on the Connecticut River in 1908. This site can be seen from the northernmost scenic vista on the Sunrise Trail. It is now underwater near the lumber company located on the western bank of the river. Knight Point State Park :Knight Point on North Hero Island opened as a state park in 1978.
