“The guides really know how to work with kids. By day two the girls were paddling for long stretches like pros and loving every minute of it. I can't recommend Virginia Outside highly enough.”

Gear provided

We supply fishing rods, tackle, bikes, helmets and life jackets. You bring the attitude and sense of adventure.

Expert staff

Our counselors are outdoor educators, anglers, cyclists and nature guides who bring enthusiasm and safe instruction to every moment.

Small groups

Many of our camps keep low counselor-to-camper ratios, so each child learns skills, gets attention and builds confidence.

Skills that grow

From Young Adventurers up to Fly Fishing, our camps let children grow, revisit and advance their outdoor skills year to year.
