ABOUT CAMP

The Camp Program

Our programs are for rising fifth through twelfth graders. We operate nine camp sessions during the summer. In addition to our basic camp activities like hiking, arts and crafts, swimming, campfires, etc., we also have special camps focused on nature and the environment, rock climbing and repelling, community service, backpacking and camping, caving and climbing. All of these programs offer real challenges in an environment that is safe.

The Phoebe Needles Center offers lodging, dining and recreational facilities for summer camps, retreats, conferences, workshops, quiet days and meetings to church, government, school, youth, college and private groups.

Our 85 acre facility is located near Roanoke, Virginia, and in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. We are minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

SUMMER CAMP programs run during June, July, and August. Camps are open to all rising fifth through twelfth graders. Programs include backpacking, canoeing, climbing, rappelling, arts and crafts, swimming, hiking, environmental activities and more.

Our camp has been tremendously successful over the years because of the commitment of the staff and the unique skills and talents they bring. For the past three summers, we have had at least one international counselor as a member of our staff. These international staff members have come from England, Wales, Slovenia and Poland. They have added a great deal and broadened the perspective of our camp program. In addition to the very competitive salaries we offer, we spend approximately $500 per staff member for training. Each member of the staff receives two weeks of training on basic camp counseling, certification in first aid and CPR, high and low ropes course facilitation, and rock climbing and repelling certification.

If you attended summer camp when you were growing up, you probably have fond memories of counselors, activities, challenges and fun, that made it a great experience at the time, but in years later, looking back, have realized just how formative those summers at camp really were.
