VirginiaSummerCamp.com is Virginia’s hub for raising curious, confident, active kids. We help families discover day camps, overnight camps, and specialty programs across Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic—while offering year-round guidance, expert advice, and warm, research-based insights to support your child’s growth.

As longtime parents and educators, we know how overwhelming the camp search can feel. Every family wants a program that is safe, enriching, and genuinely fun. That’s why we built a statewide directory that keeps things simple and trustworthy: clear categories, accurate listings, and helpful guides created with real parents in mind.

Whether you’re in Northern Virginia, Richmond, Charlottesville, the Shenandoah Valley, Tidewater, Lynchburg, Roanoke, or anywhere in between, we’re here to make your camp-planning journey easier—and a whole lot more inspiring.

VirginiaSummerCamp.com was created by Jennifer Bryerton, M.A.Ed., a lifelong camp advocate, educator, and publisher. With over 20 years of experience helping families find the right enrichment opportunities, Jennifer brings a unique perspective. For more than 15 years, Jennifer has also organized the CharlottesvilleFamily KidFest & Camp Expo, the Mid-Atlantic’s premier camp fair, connecting families face-to-face with camp directors from across the region.

And we’re committed to making that journey accessible to families across the region.
