Company Overview

Visions Summer Beauty Camp was established in 1992 in an effort to introduce young inner city girls to concepts of poise, modeling, outer beauty and grooming, and positive social interaction. Approximately 150 girls ages 10 - 17 attended the first V.S.B.C Summer Program. Mrs. Anderson and a few area professionals provided instructions for the girls in a classroom setting. Since then, V.S.B.C. has added classes to address the total individual growth for each participant. Classes such as public speaking, written communication, interviewing skills, skin care, nutrition, critical thinking & problem solving, goal setting, etc., have been added to the curriculum each year to further enhance the personal growth of each girl. Since its inception, over 1400 girls have enrolled and participated in the program. In 1998, Visions Summer Beauty Camp was incorporated under the name Visions Ministries, Inc.
