Summer Camp
Family Style
Learning and leisure shape dynamic recreation
experiences for parents and kids
W hile winter weather
may still linger in the
mid-Atlantic region,
now is a perfect time to look ahead to
summer. Warmer temperatures and
sunny skies will soon welcome children
as they flock to summer camps for fun
and relaxation.

But while we may often think of summer
camps as something exclusively for kids,
many experiences exist for families.

Camp Alleghany
Elizabeth Shreckhise, director of Camp
Alleghany in Caldwell, West Virginia,
says its family camp provides a similar
experience. Families can enjoy activities
together while immersed in nature. The
camp, which costs $85 per night for an
adult and $42.50 per night for children,
has evening activities every night that
range from a movie night to a scavenger
hunt or a similar activity.

Shreckhise says that these family camps
allow families to opt out of any activities
they want and try a plethora of different
offerings. Attendees can enjoy leisure
time in the camp’s river all afternoon if
they want, or they can pick up a new skill
by trying archery or arts and crafts.

“The family camp is really designed to
be a family experience,” Shreckhise says,
“like a vacation with your family.”
