Nature Camp

Nature Camp

Nature Camp is a private, residential, coeducational summer camp specializing in natural history and environmental science education for youth and is one of the oldest camps of its kind in the country. Since 1942 Nature Camp has sought to train a corps of interested and knowledgeable youth, aged 5th through 12th grades, to conserve and protect the environment and to become wise stewards of the natural resources of the earth.

Nestled in an isolated and idyllic valley by the banks of Big Mary's Creek in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Rockbridge County, Nature Camp is founded on the principle that no one can be expected to save the world who doesn't care about the world, and no one can be expected to care about the natural world who doesn't know about and understand it.

Nature Camp seeks to foster an appreciation for and love of nature by inviting its campers to explore the world around them through hands-on, outdoor, experiential learning. The camp attempts to inspire "the young people of today to become environmentally responsible and conscientious citizens of tomorrow."
