Blue Ridge Discovery Center

Below is a list of our most popular summer camps for youth aged 9-15! (Ages vary by camp; see individual camp descriptions.)

Do you know a budding birder? If so, check out our Ornithology Camp where participants will have the opportunity to discover the birds of the Blue Ridge with expert birders.

Does a child you know like to ride the rapids? Our New River Expedition covers 30 miles of the New River over the course of 4 days, with new experiences around every bend!

If fly fishing is more their forte, youth aged 11-15 are encouraged to join our Fly Fishing Camp, where our seasoned guides can help all skill levels develop their techniques.

Does your novice naturalist have a variety of interests? If so, our Wilderness Discovery Camp is the place for them!

For camp descriptions and other important details, visit our website or click on the titles above.

Space is limited for each camp, so reserve your child’s spot early!
