Overnight Camps Beyond Virginia

The right overnight camp may be outside Virginia. These directories and selected East Coast programs can help families begin early enough to compare support, travel, cost and availability.

Start before the summer rush

Many camps open applications in fall or winter, and sessions with financial assistance or higher staffing support may fill first. Ask about tours, virtual information sessions and waitlists.
