Both of my kids recently went there for 2 summers - 10/11 year old girl and 9/10 year old boy. They both loved it…enough to want to go back again. It’s definitely a traditional camp with no electronics, and the only real way to communicate is through writing letters.

By the third summer they said they’d like to try somewhere different, but overall a great experience!

I went there years ago! Great memories. I did the general camp the first year for two weeks and then the horseback riding camp the next few years.

DD has gone a few times - in both the regular and horse camps. It’s a traditional camp: no electronics, a lake, campfires. Seems well run and safe. It seems unusual in that most all the sessions are one-week, versus other camps where the sessions are longer, especially for older campers.

I'm also curious about current experiences. I went there for as a child myself and absolutely loved it. I hope it is still magical.

Hello! Has anyone sent his/her kid to Camp Friendship in VA? I'd love to know about your kid's experience!
