Announcing the First Wave of VBI 2015 Hires!
VBI 2015 is filling up fast
Five times as many students have already signed up this year compared to this time last year. We are also capping each session to guarantee a 4:1 student-instructor ratio—the best offered by any camp. So, space will be limited.
First-wave hires
We are proud to announce our first wave of hires for VBI 2015. These hires only represent a small fraction of our likely staff. While many others have tentatively indicated they will attend, we will not advertise staff until they have actually agreed.
These instructors will be at VBI, many at multiple locations. We will announce firm commitments to specific locations as they come in.
Please stay tuned for more staff announcements in the next few weeks!
