Outside Adventure Camps - July event

For over 20 years, Virginia Outside has been running summer camps, teaching youth about the great outdoors, and creating lifelong memories for both campers and staff members. Our Outside Adventure Camp is designed for the adventurous kiddos who are looking for variety! This camp offers a taste of all the wonderful outdoor recreation activities that Richmond has to offer!
Throughout the week, campers will enjoy different activities that can all be done within the James River Park System and other area parks. Dependent on weather and river conditions, campers will spend a fair amount of time on or near water while fishing, paddling, and lazy river-style tubing. One morning, campers will get a brief break from the heat while indoor rock climbing at Peak Experiences for a few hours. Campers will also spend a day hiking, orienteering, and exploring nature on foot. Some weeks may include the Challenge Discovery high ropes course at the University of Richmond or paddleboarding at Tredegar with Waterfront RVA.
Before participating in activities, campers will receive safety talks to prepare them to have the most fun they can in a safe capacity. These safety talks will include topics like: Basic Environmental Hazards, River Conditions, River Hazards, River Safety, Rock Climbing Rules and Regulations, Tips and Tricks for Safe Hiking, and more!
Our programs provide meaningful experiences in the outdoors where kids learn, play, and grow their confidence!
