March 23, 2025






Full day and half day camp programs at the YMCA of Virginia's Blue Ridge build confidence and resiliency in children. We do this through activities that help campers have a sense of belonging, learning new skills, making friends and building memories that will last a lifetime. Kids have the opportunity to explore nature, find new talents, try new activities, gain independence, and make lasting friendships and memories. 

There are 5 locations to choose from: Camp Kirk, Camp Salem, Camp BoCo, Camp Rockbridge, Beacon's Camp for middle schoolers, and Cooking Camp at Gainsboro. 

Camp Kirk, Camp Salem, and Camp BoCo offers full and half-day camps for 5-12 year olds. In addition, Camp Salem and Camp Kirk offer half-day Kinder Camp for potty trained kids ages 3- rising kindergartners.
