WHO WE ARE:
Join us for our 100th Anniversary summer! Established in the beautiful New River Valley of southwest Virginia in 1923, Camp Carysbrook is an overnight traditional summer camp for girls ages 6-16. We are an inclusive community of female campers and staff members dedicated to developing strong, authentic, curious, connected young women. Camp Carysbrook provides a place where girls experience true community, living and working together in a beautiful, natural setting. Our flexible program of group and individual, organized and impromptu activities allows each camper to discover her own abilities, challenge herself to accomplish new goals, and experience the satisfaction of personal growth. Plus, our traditional camp environment allows girls to learn about the rewards and challenges of being part of a group – relying upon one another to tackle common goals and accomplish more than they might individually. The balance of self-expression and collective experience is what makes Camp Carysbrook a place like no other – a part of their lives that girls will remember forever.
