Just off I-81, exit 132 • (540) 387-6114
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.
