Adults always ask:
“When can WE come to Camp?”
Camp fun has no age limit!
When you’re here at Camp Friendship, you not only have a full slate of recreational camp activities at your disposal, you also spend your days surrounded by the natural beauty of Virginia forests near the Blue Ridge Mountains. While we have plenty to offer during each Family Camp experience, you can choose what you wish to do with your time. We offer a world unto itself – a place where time seems to pass more slowly, causing you to wonder what decade you’re in.
Family Camp Dates & Rates
We can’t wait to welcome the whole family!
The wonders of the great outdoors remain timeless and fulfilling as always. Enjoy the beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains while you explore our hiking trails, make memories and keepsakes at arts & crafts, and relax under the fireflies and stars during our Saturday night lawn party. We’ll have horse grooming at our Equestrian Center, hayrides in our horse fields, canoeing and kayaking on the lake, archery on the range, and so much more!

Activities
We encourage adventuring of all kinds! Family campers have the freedom to choose from a wide variety of daily activities. Programming will change with the season, but our activities are curated specifically with fun for all ages in mind. Guests have access to everything from Free Range “self-guided” activities such as hiking trails, fishing, and multiple sports areas to Counselor-Led activities where our staff love seeing adults enjoy our programming just as much as the children! Flex your maker muscles at our Arts and Crafts Cottages or try your hand at kayaking in Friendship Lake. Try out horse grooming, canoeing, archery, and more. The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Some of our favorite evening activities are lawn parties and hay rides. We highly recommend finishing your day connecting around a campfire with s’mores – but we’ll leave that up to you.
Lodging
We are a no-frills summer camp complete with charming old-school cabins. Families stay in their own traditional cabin with enough bunk beds to accommodate up to 12 family members, depending on the cabin. Our cabins are not heated or air-conditioned but offer just the right amount of rustic with electricity and screened windows. Some cabins have ensuite bathrooms, while others have bathhouses located a short distance away. Our humble accommodations enhance the simple pleasures that Camp Friendship is all about.
Meals
Family Camp is an all-inclusive family holiday where buffet meals are served in the Dining Hall three times a day, with plenty of delicious options for all tastes. All dietary needs are catered for including vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and nut free. Our menus celebrate seasonal local ingredients sourced from the area’s bountiful farms and emphasize organic options whenever possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
We are a no-frills summer camp complete with charming old-school cabins. We believe our accommodations are the right amount of rustic, but trust us when we say our cabins are not for everyone. We are a true summer camp for kids, not a proper resort. Just think of it as camping indoors! All beds are twin sized bunk beds so please bring your own twin sized linens, pillows, and towels. A good ‘ole sleeping bag will do as well!
As much as we adore our furry friends, this event is strictly reserved for humans only! Please leave your precious pets at home, and head to the barn if you are in the mood for a snuggle with a four-legged friend.
At camp, everything goes back to a simpler time, which is particularly powerful in today’s plugged in world.
