Local Events Calendar

It’s that time of year again to sign up for Friends of the Rappahannock’s Summer Camps! Join us as we engage with the outdoors, learn about river health and ecology, learn river safety, and most importantly, explore and discover the wonders that the river has to offer. We offer camps for rising 1st through 8th graders throughout June and July in two locations: Fredericksburg and Stafford, both offering unique and exciting experiences in the great outdoors. 

In Fredericksburg, camp is hosted at FOR’s headquarters, located right on the Rappahannock River. We are offering six weeks of camp running from June to July. Campers will kayak, paddleboard, and tube on the river while learning about the ecology of our river and its importance in maintaining health through interactive games and activities. We are also love to share that we are again hosting a Girl’s Camp for rising 6th – 8th grade girls who want to build their confidence in the outdoors. This camp will be held June 8th – 11th. The girls will explore the Rappahannock watershed from the mountains to the tidal regions, where they will create lifelong memories and friendships while hiking, kayaking, tubing, paddleboarding, and participating in an optional overnight camping experience under the stars.

At our Stafford Camp location, we offer four weeks of camp in June at Crow’s Nest Research Center right along the beautiful Accokeek Creek. Campers will experience the quiet and pristine wilderness of Crow’s Nest Natural Area Preserve as they hike, fish, kayak, and paddleboard along Accokeek Creek. They will also learn about river safety and how to be good stewards of the land and water as they participate in interactive games and activities in and along the creek.

Visit https://riverfriends.org/education/summer-camp/ for more information and to reserve your spot. Our camps fill up quickly, so snag your spot today! Summer camp with FOR is a one-of-a-kind adventure that creates lasting memories and friendships among our campers. We hope your child will join us for some river fun this summer!
