Our camps are located near Leesburg, Fredericksburg, and Harrisonburg, VA and Hughesville, MD and offer girls a variety of opportunities.

Four Great Camps to Choose From:

Camp Potomac Woods is located on the Potomac River in Loudoun County, VA. Girls enjoy hiking, horseback riding, field games, drama, dance, archery, swimming, and much more. Half- and one-week programs are offered to girls entering 1st through 12th grade.

Camp Winona is a brand new resident camp that opened for the first time the summer of 2008. Located near Hughesville, MD with many new facilities- including a new zero-entry pool, dining hall, and units- this camp has already proven to be a hit. Girls have the opportunity to participate in canoeing and kayaking, hiking, games, nature, and more. Half- and one-week programs will be offered to girls entering 1st through 12th grade.

Experience adventure at Camp May Flather, nestled in the George WA National Forest near Harrisonburg, VA.
