Finding the Best Summer Camp in the Southeast for Your Child

Choosing the right summer camp can be a daunting task for parents. With so many options available, it's important to consider your child's interests, age, and personality to find the perfect fit. Blue Ridge Camp, located in the heart of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, offers an exceptional summer camp experience that caters to a wide range of campers.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Camp

  • Location: Consider the camp's location and the surrounding environment. A beautiful natural setting can enhance the overall camp experience.
  • Activities: Look for a camp that offers a very wide variety of activities, such as swimming, boating, hiking, arts and crafts, outdoor adventure, canoeing, and team and individual sports. Camp Blue Ridge offers over 45 activities which unique options such as Mountain Biking, Archery, Rocketry, Drums, Guitar, Zip Lining, Water Skiing, Lacrosse, Golf, Fishing, Hiking, Theater, and so much more! 
  • Counselor-to-Camper Ratio: A lower counselor-to-camper ratio ensures more personalized attention and supervision for each child. At Camp Blue Ridge, every cabin consists of 13 campers to 3 staff members. 
  • Program Philosophy: Consider the camp's values and mission statement. Look for a camp that aligns with your family's values. Camp Blue Ridge is a family owned and operated camp, priding ourselves on inclusion and social guidance for campers of all ages. 
  • Safety Measures: Prioritize a camp with a strong emphasis on safety. Ask about their safety protocols and emergency procedures.
  • Dietary Restrictions: If your child has any dietary restrictions or allergies, ensure the camp can accommodate their needs. Chef Robson- need we say more!!
