Camp Roanoke is owned and operated by the County of Roanoke’s Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism. Our department is southwest Virginia’s leading source of outdoor and summer programming for youth, families and adults. Our full-time staff members are graduates of universities and colleges with accredited outdoor recreation programs. Additionally, staff members are certified Wilderness First Responders, and have extensive experience in working with children and youth in outdoor settings. Our food services are managed by a ServSafe certified camp food service professional. Camp counselors have completed an intensive 14-day training program which includes First Aid/CPR/AED Training, defensive driving, conflict management, group dynamics, supervision roles, etc. Health care professionals meet with each child and family at check-in to discuss each camper’s individual needs. Staff members also administer medications, monitor special diets, and apply first aid during the camp session. All camp staff are carefully screened, interviewed and approved through background checks prior to employment.

Camp Roanoke is nestled within 700 acres of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in western Roanoke County, conveniently located just off Interstate 81 exit 132. Since 1925, Camp Roanoke’s programs have shaped the character and lives of thousands of youth and adults.

Participants learn to embrace many environmental and cultural values while at camp, from the stewardship principles of “Leave No Trace” to self-confidence and esteem building ideals from “Character Counts.” These concepts are incorporated into the activities, special events and daily routine of camp life. Focusing on character helps campers develop both emotionally and socially by promoting respect for diversity, personal and peer responsibility, and the ability to fail or succeed in an encouraging environment.
