From the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains to the hidden trails, creeks, and lakes that surround Charlottesville, there’s no better place to spend a summer outdoors. At Virginia Outside, we believe adventure builds confidence, curiosity, and lifelong skills — and Charlottesville is our playground. Whether it’s casting for bass on a quiet lake, paddling through mountain streams, or discovering local wildlife along a wooded trail, our programs connect kids to nature in meaningful, memorable ways.
