CAMP BLUE RIDGE

WHAT IS CAMP BLUE RIDGE?

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MAIN CAMP BLUE RIDGE ACTIVITIES?

Camp Blue Ridge is an all inclusive, fun filled, and fast paced adventure. We go on several field trips during the week and have on campus STEM, Art, and Cooking enrichment classes. Count on your children not wanting to leave Camp Blue Ridge at the end of the day!

What makes Camp Blue Ridge such an excellent summer camp option? Let’s start with all the exciting camp activities found right here on our four-acre Haymarket Children’s Academy campus. Our staff will lead your child in a variety of different play and learning opportunities as they enjoy the outdoors and explore our designated building for school-age children, the Outpost.

Some of the activities your child will get to participate in on the HCA campus includes:

Playing outside on our age-appropriate playgrounds and jungle gyms
Exploring nature as they wander our nature/bike trails, enjoy the garden or discover our outdoor learning center
Listening and learning from guest speakers
Playing sports, whether it be activities in our full-size gym, the gaga pit or our sports mini-camps

NEW SUMMER FUN AT CAMP BLUE RIDGE

Children can also pick between two different field trip options during select weeks of the year, which give them the freedom to discover the activities that interest them the most. Every week, we provide different destinations, in addition to weekly water park trips, satisfying your child’s desire for adventure and learning. We’re so lucky to live in an area where entertainment opportunities abound.

There are amusing activities in the Gainesville and Haymarket region as well as surrounding areas in Virginia and Washington, D.C. Just a few of the places we will travel this summer include:

Burke Lake
Movie theatre
Burnside Farms
Trampoline park
Air & Space Museum
Laser tag
Lake Arrowhead Beach

Prioritizing Safety

We believe the safety of your child is of the utmost importance. That’s why, whether we’re on campus or a field trip, your child is closely supervised by our highly qualified staff.

Age-appropriate Activities

Although our campus hosts programs for nursery and preschool-aged children, our summer camp caters to the interests of school-age kids.

All-inclusive

At Camp Blue Ridge, all activities and amenities are included in the cost, so there are no surprise fees. This includes snacks and meals for your child prepared by our on-site chef.
